Which type of mouth parts does butterfly have?

Butterflies have siphoning type mouthparts which are specially adapted for sucking nectar from flowers.

The main organ involved is a long, coiled structure called the proboscis, which acts like a straw to draw up liquid food.

These mouthparts do not bite, pierce, or lap — they are specifically designed for siphoning fluids.

This adaptation helps butterflies feed efficiently on nectar while minimizing damage to the flowers.

Therefore, the correct answer is Option D: Siphoning type.
