The size of the proboscis helps the moth to consume the food (nectar) easily from Darwin's orchid.

<h3>What do you mean by Adaptation?</h3>

Adaptation may be defined as the process of modifying one's characteristics to better suit a situation and survive more efficiently.

The size of the tube that produces nectar is just 27.9cm long, while the length of the proboscis of a moth is 30.5cm. It easily consumes the nectar and gets energy for survival as well as reproduction.

Therefore, the size of the proboscis helps the moth to consume the food (nectar) easily from Darwin's orchid.
