Are butterfly meat eater or plant eater?

Butterflies are plant eaters, also known as herbivores. They feed on nectar from flowers, which is a sugary liquid.

Here's why:

* Mouthparts: Butterflies have a long, straw-like tongue called a proboscis, which they use to suck up nectar from flowers.

* Digestive System: Their digestive systems are designed to break down plant matter, not meat.

* Life Cycle: Even in their larval stage (caterpillar), butterflies consume plants, primarily leaves.

While butterflies might occasionally drink water or sap, their primary food source is nectar from plants.
