A butterfly tastes food with...
Butterflies' taste sensors are located in their feet. So they are able to taste food by just standing on it. In fact, these creatures do not have mouths at all, so they can't bite or chew. Instead, they have a long straw-like structure known as a proboscis. They use it in order to drink nectar and juices. However, a proboscis doesn't have any taste sensors as they are located on the very bottom of a butterfly's feet.

Donna Noonan Stop being rude. English is not the only language spoken in the world and in fact is not the most widely spoken. If you have a problem with the written English of other people when using an international forum perhaps you should leave.

I agree with Isabella Bashir -- in the global scheme of things, proper English isn't as important as being able to communicate your thoughts, even if it contains a few errors.

As an orthopedic surgeon in Mount Sinai for 24 years, I think Vasily has demonstrated both service and dedication to the USA. How many of your doctors are you ready to lose just because they got here later than your family got here? He coms here for fun, to test his skill at quizzes, not to get berated for less skill in English than you think you have.

Why do some days first place is 13,000's and others 18,000's? Some days I'm # 13 and others 22. Why such floating positions?

Elma Griffiths, Are you sure it was an "Admiral"? (Red Admiral) Most people think a Small Tortoiseshell is a Red Admiral because it is mostly red all over. A Red Admiral is, actually black, with a thin red line around the wings!

It's called a Proboscis which sucks liquids to taste?

isabella bashir, i agree about not being rude, but English IS the most widely spoken language--beating out Chinese by a small margin.
