No. Only the caterpillars of butterflies eat leaves and plant parts.

Adult butterflies themselves do not eat, but drink. They usually feed on nectar from plant flowers or tree sap. Some butterflies will feed on the sugars in rotting fruits. The Harvester butterfly actually pierces the bodies of woolly aphids and drinks their fluids.
