Which of the following organisms is the tertiary consumer in this food web?

[ "pine vole", "beaver", "swallowtail caterpillar", "bobcat" ]

D

Tertiary consumers eat secondary consumers. So, in a food web, tertiary consumers have arrows pointing to them from secondary consumers. Secondary consumers have arrows pointing to them from primary consumers. And primary consumers have arrows pointing to them from producers. The swallowtail caterpillar has an arrow pointing to it from the persimmon tree. The persimmon tree is not a secondary consumer, so the swallowtail caterpillar is not a tertiary consumer. The pine vole has an arrow pointing to it from the persimmon tree and the swallowtail caterpillar. Neither the persimmon tree nor the swallowtail caterpillar is a secondary consumer, so the pine vole is not a tertiary consumer. The bobcat has an arrow pointing to it from the gray fox. The gray fox is a secondary consumer, so the bobcat is a tertiary consumer. The gray fox has an arrow pointing to it from the pine vole. The pine vole is a secondary consumer, so the gray fox is a tertiary consumer. The beaver has an arrow pointing to it from the silver maple. The silver maple is not a secondary consumer, so the beaver is not a tertiary consumer.
