Watch this beauty's proboscis hard at work as it searches for some sweet nectar to sip! 🌸✨ When the butterfly finishes eating, the proboscis will curl up until it's ready to sip again! 🦋 | Butterfly Wonderland

The proboscis is what butterflies use to sip up their nutrients! When it's not in action, this incredible appendage playfully curls up, only to uncurl into a long, tubular straw-like extension when these lovely creatures are ready to enjoy the sweet nectar from flowers! Take a closer look, and you might spot our fluttery friend's curled proboscis in this video! 🦋🌸✨ | Butterfly Wonderland

Did you know, a butterfly's tongue is called a proboscis! They uncurl it like a long straw to suck up food including nectar and fruit juices. Butterflies don't have noses instead, they taste and smell food using their legs and feet. Heres an upclose look at our butterfly smelling and tasting! Visit our butterfly house to see these beautiful insects for yourself. 🦋 | Butterfly Creek
