Butterflies taste using taste receptors on their feet. They step on their food, as their feet have receptors that sense dissolved sugars. This enables them to taste food sources like fermenting fruit.
In order to find the right type of plant, the butterfly's legs have special spines with chemoreceptors that detect the right match of plant chemicals. They actually drum their feet on leaves to make the plant release its juices.

∙ 12y agoi think u mean taste things. well butterflies DONT HAVE TASTE BUDS because they just suck up nectar and DONT CHEW so they only have a thin small tongue. Their tongue is too thin so they dont have taste buds to taste things. That is your answer! :)

What is a baby butterfly called?
There is no such thing as a baby butterfly, they are born as adults. here is the way it works. A Butterfly lays eggs, these eggs hatch into caterpillar's, the caterpillars seal themselves into pupa or chrysalis inside of which they grow into an adult butterfly, when the time is right an adult butterfly breaks out of the pupa/chrysalis a lot like a chick coming from an egg and you have an adult butterfly ready to mate with other butterfly's that lay eggs once again. The closest thing to a baby butterfly will be the Caterpillar.
