Tasty Toes: Why do butterflies prefer to dine standing up?

Because they taste with their feet! nationalgeographic.com
Butterflies have taste receptors, called chemoreceptors, on their feet. When they land on a plant, these receptors help them detect if it's a suitable spot for laying eggs or grabbing a snack. This unique ability allows them to quickly assess their environment without using their mouths. community.rspb.org.uk
