Best Answer

They use their tongue or proboscis, a straw like tube, to suck nectar from flowers.

The butterfly uses its very long proboscis, which is like a straw, to sip nectar from flowers. When it is not feeding, the proboscis rolls up onto itself into a flat "ball".

Butterflies have tiny holes in their body called spiracles. The spiracles are capable of letting air enter directly into the insect's trachea to allow it to breath.
