With insects, the proboscis is defined as a long, flexible tube that is used to
extract nectar from a flower. I managed to catch two such instances today.
This Clearwing Moth was happily feeding on the Buddleia blooms. The proboscis

This Silver-Sided Skipper is using its proboscis in a similar fashion.
