It might sound strange to us humans, but butterflies rely on their feet to taste food. Their feet have taste sensors on them that help to locate food for their caterpillars. They stand on a leaf and give it a taste. ... So butterflies use a long, tube-like tongue called a proboscis (say "pro-boss-kiss") to eat.

Butterflies don't really have mouths, much less taste buds, to help them decide if food tastes good or bad. Instead, they use their feet! ... Instead, those sensors are located on the back of the butterfly's legs. The insect will step on its food to sense dissolving sugars & They have receptors in their legs that are similar to our taste buds – except they're around 200 times stronger! When a female butterfly lands on a leaf she can taste to see if it is safe to lay her eggs there.
