Butterfly
Insects of the order Lepidoptera that are mostly active by day and have clubbed antennae, distinguished from the largely nocturnal moths.
Butterflies taste with their feet. Chemoreceptors on their leg tips (the tarsi) detect sugars and chemicals the instant they land, about 200 times more sensitively than the human tongue. Females taste a plant with their feet before laying eggs, so their caterpillars can eat it.
