An adult silkworm butterfly does not feed. Her mouth organs are not developed. How does this insect live? How do bees get honey?

The silkworm butterfly does not have a developed mouth apparatus. Therefore, it is incapable of digestion. Because of this, she lives for about 12 days. The main thing that these butterflies need to do during this period is to lay eggs from which offspring will appear. So they lay about 300 eggs. That is, after the transformation, the main goal of the butterfly is reproduction.

Bees make honey from the nectar they collect from flowers. They can do this thanks to their digestive system. They use honey as a source of energy.
