Tasty
Uploaded: June 04, 2012
Butterflies taste with their feet as their taste sensors are located there. They can taste it by just standing on their food. They don't have mouths that allow them to bite or chew, instead they have a long straw-like structure called a proboscis which they use to drink nectar and juices. But the proboscis doesn't have any taste sensors. A butterfly's taste sensors are located on the bottom of its feet. When not in use, the proboscis remains like a garden hose. By standing on a leaf, the butterfly can taste it to see if the leaf they sit on is good to lay eggs on to be their caterpillars’ food or not.
People who study butterflies are called "Lepidopterists".
Showers forecast for Philly's week...
