Answers
Answer:
Primary consumers are herbivores, feeding on plants. Caterpillars, insects, grasshoppers, termites and hummingbirds are all examples of primary consumers because they only eat autotrophs (plants).

Answer: Living things eating only plants or herbivorous are called primary consumers.
Eg - Humming bird, goat, cow, grasshopper etc.
Explanation:
The primary consumers make the second trophic level. They are also called herbivores. They eat the main producers — plants or algae — and nothing else. For example, the Everglades grasshopper is a major buyer. Other examples of major buyers are white-tailed deer that feed on prairie grasses, as well as zooplankton that feed on very small algae in the water.
Next up are the second buyers, who eat the first buyers. Second buyers are usually carnivores, from the Latin word for “eater.” In the Everglades, egrets and alligators are carnivorous animals. They only eat other animals. Many carnivores, called predators, hunt and kill other animals, but not all predators. Some, known as scavengers, eat animals that have already died.
Some consumers eat live animals but do not kill them. For example, small arachnids are called ticks that attach to other animals and eat their own blood, but ticks are not considered predators. Instead they are called parasites.
Some second consumers eat both plants and animals. They are called omnivores, from a Latin word meaning “you eat everything.” The raccoon is an example of an omnivore; it eats plants such as berries and acorns, but it also catches crabs, frogs, fish and other small animals.
Ecosystems may have high-end consumers, predators and predators. The bald eagle is an example of a high-profile buyer you can see near the mangrove islands off the Everglades. Its diet includes algae-eating fish, algae-eating fish, and grass-eating rabbits. It is considered a “top predator” because no other animal living in the area hunts or eats it. When a high-quality predator dies, it is eaten by scavengers or decomposers.
In addition to consumers and supportive manufacturers, the ecosystem has decomposers. These insects get their food from dead organisms, such as the leaves of decaying plants or dead fish that sink to the bottom of a pond.
