Butterflies possess chemoreceptors on their feet, allowing them to taste plants and determine if they are suitable for laying eggs.
Why it is true
When landing on a leaf, butterflies drum their feet to release the plant's juices. The receptors on their feet immediately detect if the plant is the correct host for their caterpillars, ensuring the offspring's survival.
