That the luna moth (Actias luna) exists to mate, not to survive, since neither gender has a proboscis with which to extract nectar from flowers or minerals from puddles is an example of a sentence which includes the word "proboscis".

Specifically, the term proboscis designates either the elongated piercing, sucking mouthparts in invertebrates or elongated noses and snouts in vertebrates. Its absence is total in the beautifully lime-green luna moth which can be found birthing, mating or perishing around backyard trees. It is unknown why some moth genuses lead such ephemeral existences and others are born with mouthparts (and therefore a fighting chance of extending life).
