Lizards can be tertiary consumers in some tropical rainforest ecosystems, but this depends on their specific diet and ecological role. Many lizards are primarily insectivores or herbivores, placing them in lower trophic levels as primary or secondary consumers. However, larger lizards that prey on other animals, such as small mammals or birds, can be considered tertiary consumers. Therefore, not all lizards in tropical rainforests fit this category.
The caterpillar is the primary consumer. If an organism eats plants, it is a primary consumer. If it eats other animals, it is a secondary or tertiary consumer.
A lizard is typically considered a secondary consumer. It primarily feeds on primary consumers, such as insects and other small animals, which are herbivores that eat plants (the primary producers). In some ecosystems, larger lizards may also act as tertiary consumers if they prey on other secondary consumers. However, their classification can vary depending on the specific food web of their habitat.

They live in the canopy.

Just like any other lizard.
Yes, but its a lizard, not a feral cat. No, but there is a thype of tropical american lizard called a basiliscus.
