What is a Blue Morpho butterfly diet?

Answer 1

Butterflies eat anything that can dissolve in water. Butterflies feed on mostly nectar from flowers and sip water from damps. They also nourish on pollen, tree sap, rotting fruit, dung, decaying flesh, and dissolved minerals in wet sand or dirt. Many species of butterflies need sodium more than they need nectar. They are attracted to sodium found in salt and sweat. Sodium as well as many other minerals is vital for the butterfly's reproduction. This is why they sometimes even land on people in Butterfly Parks. When butterflies are young (caterpillars), they eat mostly leaves and other various plants parts. Each species of caterpillars eats only a few kinds of plants or plant parts. Butterflies drink liquids to maintain their water balance and energy supplies.

Butterflies do not eat they drink. They have a long narrow tube in their mouth called a proboscis, which is a long, flexible "tongue," that acts as a straw. A butterfly drinks by unrolling its proboscis and inserting it into a flower to draw in its nectar or into other foods. When it is not feeding, the proboscis rolls up onto itself into a flat "ball." t has a mouth just like most insects. If you watch them crawling around on plants, you will see them eating the leaves.

Answer 2

First they look for flowers then they stick out the straw and suck nectar
