Monarch Butterflies have hairs on their legs that serve as taste receptors, allowing them to detect chemicals present in the plants they land on. This adaptation helps them identify suitable host plants for laying eggs and finding food sources, as they primarily feed on nectar from flowers. The ability to taste through their legs enhances their foraging efficiency and reproductive success.
