'''Puddling''' is a term used to describe a behavior in Butterflies where they gain nutrients from damp environments such as mud, dung, or carrion. They accomplish this by sticking their sucking mouthpart, or Proboscis, into the damp area, and then drawing the water up the proboscis. The water contains nutrients in Solution, and the butterfly can then remove these in the digestive system. {{biology-stub}}
