Where is the proboscis located?
The proboscis is a tubular feeding organ located on the head of certain insects, like butterflies and moths. It is used for sucking up liquids such as nectar or plant sap.
How long is the PROBOSCIS?
The proboscis can be 1 centimeter,
What does an Isabella moth eat?

Mouthparts of a butterfly?
Siphoning mouthparts are found in butterflies and some moths (Lepidoptera). The probiscis (galea) is a modification of the maxillary galea found in the more primitive madibulate (chewing) mouthparts, as seen in the cockroach. Compare the above diagram with the cockroach maxillae. The probiscis consists of paired galea which, during feeding, fit together to form a tube that is used to suck up nectar (it acts like a straw). When not in use the proboscis is coiled and held close to the underside of the head.The Morgan's sphinx moth, Xanthopan morgani, has the longest proboscis at 30 to 35 cm in length. The labial palps have a sensory function and in some nocturnal moths they are used as hearing organs. Siphoning mouthparts are found in butterflies and some moths (Lepidoptera).

What insects procure their food with their proboscis?
There are three definitions. 1. Mammals with long flexible snout...like a taper, elephant etc. 2. insects with long tubular sucking mouths...like mosquitoes. 3. noses that are prominent...proboscis monkies and humans that have big noses
