The proboscis of a pest refers to a long, tubular feeding structure that some insects, such as mosquitoes and butterflies, use to extract fluids. In pests, this adaptation allows them to feed on plant sap, nectar, or blood, facilitating their survival and reproduction. The proboscis is often specialized for piercing or siphoning, depending on the type of pest and its feeding habits.
