The straw-like mouth of a butterfly is called a proboscis. This specialized feeding structure allows butterflies to sip nectar from flowers. The proboscis is coiled when not in use and can extend to reach deep into blossoms, enabling the butterfly to extract liquid nourishment efficiently. This adaptation is essential for their survival, as it provides them with the energy needed for flight and reproduction.
