The butterfly uses............to suck honey from flowers.

Answer 1

Answer:

The butterfly uses a proboscis to suck honey from flowers.

Explanation:

• The proboscis is a straw-like elongated mouth-tube that is a coiled structure and present under its head.
• Butterflies use the siphoning method to get their food and uncoil the proboscis to sip or suck honey and then coil it back to a spiral.
• Hence butterflies are dependent on liquid foods like honey or nectar from flowers or other types of food that are dissolved in water or nectar-like sap, pollen, rotten fruit etc.
• They use proboscis also to drink water from shallow water sources.
