Did you know that arguably one of the most beautiful creatures on the planet,

this loving thing right here, the butterfly,

does what we humans might consider one of the most nasty things when eating.

They taste food with their feet.

Yes, these interesting insects have six legs

and they have tiny sensors on their feet with which they taste

because they can't taste with their mouths.

And since they don't have mouth parts that can chew,

they have long straw-like structures to eat that food that they just touched with their feet.

The more you know!
