The proboscis. This looks like a long, curved hollow tube the butterfly uses to suck nectar from flowers. In rest, it's curled up beneath the head, barely visible in some species, but when feeding it's outstretched to the food source. Try having a butterfly land on your hand, it might lick sweat from your fingers for the salt and you can see for yourself. ^^
