the tongue of the butterfly is called a Proboscis.
Butterflies typically feed by sipping nectar from flowers through a long, straw-like tube called a proboscis. They insert the proboscis into the flower to access the nectar, which serves as their main source of food and energy. Some butterflies also feed on other sources like rotting fruits, tree sap, and minerals found in mud.
Butterflies mainly feed on nectar from flowers, using a long tube-like mouthpart called a proboscis to suck up the liquid. Some butterflies also feed on other sources such as fruit juices, animal dung, and minerals from mud.
Liquids make up the diet of butterflies.Specifically, butterflies have sipping mouthparts in the form of a tube-like proboscis. It can be compared to a tongue. The preferred liquid is flower nectar. But butterflies are known to take in minerals through clustering around mud puddlesand the liquids in rotting fruit and decaying animal flesh.
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.
As far as i can tell a rabble of butterflys or a swarm of butterflys is the answer ... go figure ???
Butterflies don't have mouths as we know them. The 'curly thing' is called a 'proboscis'
They use their tongues to suck nectar

Butterflies use their long tongues to get the nectar out of flowers. This is called the proboscis. It is similar to a very long, thin straw and it sucks up the nectar of a flower. The proboscis is curled up into a ball shape when it isn't in use.
The Amazon butterfly eats nectar from flowers. Butterflies consume nectar through their tongues which act like straws and they taste with their feet.
Plants benefit from butterflies because they help in pollination as they move from flower to flower collecting nectar. Butterflies are effective pollinators due to their long tongues and ability to transfer pollen as they feed. Additionally, some plants have evolved to rely on specific butterfly species for pollination, creating a mutually beneficial relationship.
They smell with their tongues
