Producers and Consumers

I saw many different species of plants and animals in my plot. Here are a few examples along with their status as a producer or consumer:
I. Consumers
1) Herbivores - deer, rabbits, bumblebees, moths, butterflies, fruit flies, and squirrels.
2) Omnivores - mosquitoes, bluejays, cardinals, tree frogs, ladybugs, toads, and chickadees.
3) Detritivores - slugs and worms.
4) Decomposers - shelf fungi, mushrooms, and bracket fungi.
II. Producers - pine tree, maple tree, poisen ivy, grass, thornbush, crab apple tree, moss, apple tree, pear tree, dandelions, and a sassafrass tree.
