they dont eat they drink they sip nectar with their probiscis
No, tropical butterflies do not eat bugs and grasses. Adult lepidopterans either have liquid or no diets whereas their juvenile larval stage as caterpillars involves preying upon the leafy parts of non-woody or woody plants. Butterflies relish nectaring and puddling whereas some other lepidopterans, particularly moths, may emerge from the larval cocoon with no mouth parts at all.

Butterflies do not have teeth. Rather, their feeding mechanism is a long double barreled tube called a proboscis. Because they feed through what is essentially a double barreled straw, butterfly diets are exclusively liquids. The preferred diets will vary considerably depending upon the butterfly species. While people generally think of butterflies as feeding from the nectar of flowers, other common diets include mud, cow dung, water and tree sap.
ADULT butterflies and moths can not only eat nectar, but they can also eat fruit, carrion, fecal matter, one moth is known to drink blood, as well as several other food sources. The food source depends on the species and sometimes on the season the adult is active. Caterpillars have different diets than adults.
There are 128 butterflies in total at the butterfly park. This is calculated based on the ratio of 8:4 for North American butterflies, which means for every 8 North American butterflies, there are 4 South American butterflies. Given there are 64 North American butterflies, the total number is doubled to include South American butterflies in a 1:2 ratio to European butterflies.
