Which type of mouth parts does butterfly have?

A. Spongy type

B. Biting and piercing type

C. Lapping type

D. Siphoning type

Answer: Option A

Solution(By Examveda Team)

Butterflies have a Spongy type mouth part.
This section deals only with insects that feed by sucking fluids, as a rule without piercing their food first, and without sponging or licking.
A few adult Lepidoptera lack mandibles, but also have the remaining mouthparts in the form of an elongated sucking tube, the proboscis.
