Best Answer

Butterflies drink water in the same way that they drink nectar and that is with their proboscis. The proboscis is a long tube, a bit like a very flexible drinking straw, which is in their mouth. It is usually curled tightly so as not to be in their way and when they want to drink they can extend it so that it straightens out.
