Here’s a corrected, clear sorting of the organisms you listed into trophic categories, with short notes where useful.

Producers
- Plants (trees, fruiting plants, flowers) — autotrophs that make energy via photosynthesis.

Primary consumers (herbivores / nectar feeders / frugivores)
- Tapir (herbivore: eats leaves, fruit)
- Agouti (rodent: eats seeds/fruits)
- Sloth (herbivore: leaves)
- Morpho butterfly (nectar feeder) — primary consumer

Omnivores (feed at multiple levels — act as primary consumers when eating plants/fruit/nectar and as secondary consumers when eating insects/other animals)
- Squirrel monkey (omnivorous: fruit + insects/small animals)
- Spider monkey (largely frugivorous but also eats insects — often primary consumer, sometimes secondary)
- Golden lion tamarin (frugivore/insectivore — both primary and secondary roles)
- Toucan (frugivore + eats insects/small vertebrates — both roles)
- Macaw (mostly frugivore/seed eater, occasionally insect/egg predation — mainly primary but can be secondary)

Secondary / tertiary consumers (carnivores / top predators)
- Jaguar (apex predator — secondary/tertiary consumer)
- Harpy eagle (top avian predator — secondary/tertiary consumer)
- Boa constrictor (carnivore — secondary/tertiary consumer)

Decomposers / detritivores
- Bacteria (decomposers)
- Fungi (decomposers)

Scavengers
- (None of the listed organisms are classic scavengers. Scavengers are animals that primarily feed on carcasses, e.g., vultures, some crabs, hyenas. Note: decomposers like bacteria and fungi break down remaining organic matter after scavengers and consumers.)

Quick note on levels: “Primary consumers” eat producers; “secondary” eat primary consumers; top predators can be tertiary consumers. Omnivores can function at more than one level depending on diet.
