The large, green stinkbug is drinking sap from this plant. That tells us that it is a:

   No. The plant is a producer. It captures energy from sunlight, and stores it as food. The stinkbug is eating the plant to get that energy.

2. Primary Consumer.

   Yes! The stinkbug is eating the sap from the plant (a producer) to get the energy it contains.

3. Secondary Consumer

   No. Secondary consumers eat other consumers. An animal that ate this stinkbug would be a secondary consumer.

   No. Decomposers break down dead and decaying organisms. The plant that the stinkbug is eating is still alive and growing.
