In this question, we are asked to tell how leeches and butterflies eat their food.

  • Both leeches and butterflies lack teeth. As a result, they consume through sucking.
  • Butterflies use a proboscis, a long, tubular mouth, to consume their food. Because it is so delicate, the proboscis can only penetrate very delicate surfaces.
  • They can suck up sugary liquids like nectar and juice from fruits and flowers with their proboscis, and they can also use it to sip water.
  • They primarily consume flower nectar, although they will also consume fruit that has gone bad, tree fluid, dung, or pollen. They are drawn to the sodium in salt and perspiration.
  • The majority of leeches feed by suckling their hosts' blood.
  • They typically use their anterior sucker to attach to their food, while some have a proboscis they insert from their mouths into their prey. Others might utilize powerful jaws to rip into their prey's tissues.
