The proboscis of butterfly is the long appendage on the head that works are a mouth. It is used for feeding and sucking.
It is a " butterfly "tongue". its a long tube rolled up composed of two parts the butterfly can unfurl and use as a straw to get nectar. It can also be the nose of mammal such as an elephant.
the name of the mouth part of a butterfly is called the feeding tube
Butterflies do not have teeth. Rather, their feeding mechanism is a long double barreled tube called a proboscis. Because they feed through what is essentially a double barreled straw, butterfly diets are exclusively liquids. The preferred diets will vary considerably depending upon the butterfly species. While people generally think of butterflies as feeding from the nectar of flowers, other common diets include mud, cow dung, water and tree sap.
The proboscis of the pachyderm is prodigious. (politely played!) (Practically perfect!)
Instead of eating, butterflies get their nourishment from drinking. They have a long narrow tube in their mouth called a proboscis that acts as a straw. The Diadem Butterfly likes to get its food from the plants Portulaca oleracea, and Asystasia lawiana.
the proboscis help butterfly to sip nectars from flower
A butterfly sticks its long, slender, proboscis into the stamen of a flower, thus accessing the nectar, and drinks it.

The butterfly's sipping tube that coils and uncoils is called a proboscis, verterbrates, and inverterbrates can have these like the elephant. A proboscis is an appendage from the head of an animal. : )
The mode of ingestion of a butterfly is through the long proboscis. This part of the butterfly sucks in nectar.
Feeding is what a butterfly uses the proboscis for. Muscles operate the two inwardly concave tubes through which nectar is suctioned to sustain the butterfly during the last, imago stage in the lepidopteran life cycle.
