Actually, butterflies don`t eat the actual flower. They eat a liquid-like material from the flower called nectur. Therefore, all of the flowers that butterflies use as a food resource survive because they are eating the necxtur from the flower.

What does the papilio butterfly eat?
From as far as I'm aware of, they have no natural predators. Not from lack of them, that's for sure, but more because of the alkaloids they have absorbed when they are first laid from the Nightshades (the only plants which they lay their eggs on).This toxic chemical has no effect on them, even to adulthood, but does leave them tasting quite bad. Because of this bad taste, no predators want to eat them.

What is the tube that a butterfly uses to eat?
This tube is called a Proboscis and is actually two tubes.When the butterfly emerges from it's pupa the two separate tubes need to be 'zipped' together for the proboscis to work properly. If the butterfly is unable to do this, it will die.Once the proboscis is working the butterfly seeks out food, or energy. Butterfly food can be flower pollen, tree sap, plant juices that are sweet, rotting fruit, dung (usually bird) and even carrion, or the decaying flesh of animals.The butterfly excretes enzymes through the proboscis that breaks food down allowing it to be sipped up into this straw-like tube. Because butterflies also require minerals and salts, they 'puddle' in water and even urine for these.
