Proboscis


My class is doing a word list about "butterfly vocabulary". My word is proboscis and if you don't know what a proboscis is I will tell you a little bit about it. A proboscis is a butterfly's tongue. The tongue of a butterfly is used for sucking nectar from a flower. If you have a butterfly in captivity (that is when you have a pet butterfly) you need to feed them sugarwater. To make sugar water you only need 2 things warm water and sugar then you need to mix it together so that the butterfly can suck it up easier.
See if you can find one on your butterfly.
