Weevils. Even the name can cause a shudder to anyone who has ever had these ugly, snout-nosed bugs in their flour, rice, or cornmeal. Often called flour bugs, because that is where they are frequently found, there are actually a number of types of weevil, including rice weevils, seed weevils, granary/grain weevils, maize weevils, and bean/pea/seed weevils, but the "true" weevils - with the snout nose, are the granary, rice, and maize weevils.
I feel that the rice weevil, being a pest feeds on crops of rice directly and is hence a member of the second trophic level.
The second level will be made up of primary consumers or herbivores, those organisms that consume the primary producers and get their energy from those organisms.
