What type of consumer is an ant?

Answer 1

An ant is mostly a primary consumer when it collects its food directly from plant items. But it's also a secondary consumer when it feeds upon carcasses like dead roaches or dead rats or even bigger animals. An ant is supremely strong, and it is said, it can carry or pull anything as heavy as 300 times its own weight! Ants are social insects and live in large colonies. It's mostly the worker ants who are given the responsibility to collect food and also build anthills. Although ants are pygmy, they're very intelligent and only few of the insects who/that have high brain-body proportion like us, humans.
