Frequently asked
How do butterflies taste food?
Butterflies taste with their feet! They have chemoreceptors on their legs that allow them to taste plants and determine if they're suitable for laying eggs. When a butterfly lands on a flower, it's literally tasting it to see if it's good to eat.
What do butterflies eat besides nectar?
While nectar is their primary food, butterflies also drink from mud puddles for minerals, feed on rotting fruit for sugars, and some species even consume animal dung, carrion, and tree sap for essential nutrients like sodium and amino acids.
How far can butterflies migrate?
Monarch butterflies make incredible migrations up to 3,000 miles from Canada to Mexico. Amazingly, it takes multiple generations to complete the northward journey, but a single generation makes the entire southward trip using inherited navigation skills.
