The Butterfly uses a tube-like appendage called a "proboscis" to suck up its food, usually nectar or pollen. Some butterflies free on tree sap, rotting fruit, dung, or other food sources, dissolved into a liquid state. The choice of food depends strictly on the species.
*Proboscis comes from the Greek pro meaning before and boskein meaning to feed.
