Butterflies are consumers, specifically herbivores in their larval stage as caterpillars, feeding on plant leaves. As adults, they primarily consume nectar from flowers, playing a role in pollination. They do not produce their own food like producers (plants) nor break down organic matter like decomposers (fungi and bacteria).
