Feeding on a viscous liquid (nectar) through a long and narrow tube is a challenging fluid dynamic problem and the subject of long-running scientific investigation. Here we characterized the relationship between proboscis submergence depth and nectar drinking rate in <jats:italic>Manduca sexta<\/jats:italic> hawkmoths. Video recordings of moth feeding bouts were collected and neural networks were used to extract data by object localization, tracking the location of the nectar meniscus and moths\u2019 proboscis tips. We found that although feeding rates vary among bouts, the variation was not associated with proboscis submergence depth. These results show that despite the theoretical possibility of fluid uptake through the walls of the proboscis, such effects do not have a substantial effect on nectar uptake rate, and suggest that nectar must traverse the full length of the proboscis.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1371\/journal.pone.0302536","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2024,5,29]],"date-time":"2024-05-29T17:29:06Z","timestamp":1717003746000},"page":"e0302536","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1371\/journal.pone.corrections_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Feeding rate in adult Manduca sexta is unaffected by proboscis submersion depth"],"prefix":"10.1371","volume":"19","author":[{"given":"Tomas F.","family":"Pierce","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-6573-9602","authenticated-orcid":true,"given":"Tyson L.","family":"Hedrick","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"340","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2024,5,29]]},"reference":[{"key":"pone.0302536.ref001","unstructured":"Linnaeus CV.
