Answer:

A butterfly uses it's long tube to suck the nectar from flowers.

Explanation:

It is called a proboscis and is a long flexible tube like straw that is the butterfly's tongue, which is 1.5 times their body length. The butterfly uses the proboscis to drink nectar from the flowers. When this tongue is not in use it curls back into a spiral. Butterflies eat the nectar by extending the proboscis deep into a flower to sip nectar. Butterflies also use the proboscis to drink water and juice from rotting fruits.

DID YOU KNOW?!

This proboscis (tongue) is not used for tasting though. Instead, butterflies use their feet to taste nectar!
