Yes! the painted lady butterfly is an insect, although it is hard to see that butterflies have six pairs of legs.

the front pair are shorter than the two grasping and landing pairs on the abdomen and are held up under their head and mouth parts, these are used to taste whatever plants they land on once they have smelled a nectar source.
