How do butterflies feed?

By Annabel

They have a special tongue that goes in and gets nectar from flowers. The tongue looks like a straw but black.

They use their proboscis. The proboscis is their tongue. They suck nectar out of the flowers. They stick their proboscis in the flower and they curl there proboscis up after they have finished eating.

Butterflies go from flower to flower. Butterflies sip the nectar out of the flower.
