Recent Examples on the Web During the feeding process, the female mosquito uses a mouthpart called the proboscis—which is also used to feed on flowers—to pierce the skin and feed on the blood. 
Eleesha Lockett, SELF, 8 June 2022 And Peter Dinklage, who starred in that musical’s 2019 Off Broadway production, superbly reprises his role here, giving us a Cyrano who is widely mocked not for an oversized proboscis but rather for a diminutive physique. Los Angeles Times, 24 Feb. 2022 This 1996 Daihatsu with its googly eyes and big spare-tire proboscis is a recent import to the U.S. Elana Scherr, Car and Driver, 17 Feb. 2022 Nienaber walked it over to a plant, and the monarch soon unfurled its proboscis into a flower, drawing nectar.
