Скачать или смотреть Butterfly Eating Nectar

Butterfly eating nectar capture my attention. So I share this. Hope you enjoy.
Butterflies have a long tongue, called a proboscis, which they can curl and uncurl to drink through like a straw. They use their proboscis to drink sweet nectar from flowers. Nectar sometimes resides deep within a flower and the proboscis allows the butterfly to reach this sugary treat. Some butterflies also enjoy a different sugary treat, fruit. They especially enjoy fully ripened and rotting fruit. Many kinds of butterflies, usually male, will feed on other moist substances like puddles, wet gravel, sweat, scat, and even tears! What these butterflies are often doing is gathering salts and minerals to pass on to female butterflies which helps with egg development.
