There are many, many species of insects - some are primary consumers, and some are secondary consumers.
A primary consumer eats producers (plants), and is also known as a herbivore. An example of an insect that is a herbivore is the cicada.
A secondary consumer is also known as a carnivore. It consumes primary consumers (herbivores). An example of a carnivorous insect is the Sand wasp.
