What is the food of a Butterfly.​

Answer:

Nectar. A butterfly is limited to liquid diets due to its straw-like mouth called a proboscis. This allows them to reach into the base of flowers to drink the sweet, sugary nectar found there. Nectar provides a quick source of energy which the butterflies need for flying and reproduction.

They drink through a tube - like tongue called a proboscis . It uncoils to sip liquid food , and then coils up again into a spiral when the when the butterfly is not feeding.
