Is an army ant a consumer?

Answer 1

Yes. The only thing in a food chain that isn't a producer is something that doesn't eat anything. For example, a leaf (the producer) isn't a consumer because it doesn't eat anything else, but a worm is a consumer because it eats the leaf.

Answer 2

Yes, an army ant is a consumer because it primarily obtains its energy by consuming other animals, such as insects, invertebrates, and small vertebrates. Army ants are considered top predators in their ecosystem.
