Story and comic created by CCFamily.

 

Do you like butterflies? Do you know that butterflies taste food by standing on top of it? Their taste receptors are on the soles of their feet, unlike us with most on our tongues.

Butterflies can communicate with each other by color, chemicals, sound, and physical actions. They have brains and hearts like other insects. A butterfly has an average adult life span of 2 weeks or less. But no adult butterfly can live more than a year. Butterflies are beautiful, but keep in mind that some of them are poisonous!
