What is the mouth part of the butterfly uses to get food?
The proboscis. This looks like a long, curved hollow tube the butterfly uses to suck nectar from flowers. In rest, it's curled up beneath the head, barely visible in some species, but when feeding it's outstretched to the food source. Try having a butterfly land on your hand, it might lick sweat from your fingers for the salt and you can see for yourself. ^^
What is the eating organ of a butterfly?
In the larval stage, a moth or butterfly (typically a caterpillar) has mandibles and a conventional mouth to feed on plant material (or, rarely, on insects). As an adult, most species of butterfly have a curled tube called a proboscis that extends to drink nectar from flowering plants. Some get nutrients from pollen, decaying matter, or wet soil. Some adult butterflies do not eat at all, and have a very short lifespan.

What is the tube that a butterfly uses to eat?
This tube is called a Proboscis and is actually two tubes.When the butterfly emerges from it's pupa the two separate tubes need to be 'zipped' together for the proboscis to work properly. If the butterfly is unable to do this, it will die.Once the proboscis is working the butterfly seeks out food, or energy. Butterfly food can be flower pollen, tree sap, plant juices that are sweet, rotting fruit, dung (usually bird) and even carrion, or the decaying flesh of animals.The butterfly excretes enzymes through the proboscis that breaks food down allowing it to be sipped up into this straw-like tube. Because butterflies also require minerals and salts, they 'puddle' in water and even urine for these.
Why does a bourdon tube bends when water pressure is applied?
A bourdon tube, typically found in pressure gauges and switches is an oval shaped tube which is then curled lengthwise into an arc. When pressure is applied internally to the tube the natural tendency is for the oval shaped tube to move to form a circular tube, kind of like a balloon does when you blow air into it. Because it is curled when the tube moves towards a circular configuration the shorter inside of the arc lengthens as a result while the outer arc tend to shorten. In other word the tube tries to straighten itself out. When the pressure is removed from the inside of the tube the elasticity of the metal pulls it back into it's original shape. Bourdon tubes are made in different sizes and the smaller dimensioned (the oval not the arc) tubes can carry higher pressures than the larger ones.
