Eee. another another? Then, can these butterflies taste with their feet?. “How! So they have tongues on their feet?” you may ask. That’s right sir. These friends have tongues on their feet. Who knows what else they have…
For example, these butterflies reproduce with eggs.. The process of hatching is as follows: The larva that emerges from the egg is called a caterpillar.. Then these caterpillars, after feeding well, form a pupa for itself.
The caterpillars that metamorphose inside the pupa come out of the pupa as butterflies.. They can’t fly as soon as they take off because their wings aren’t open yet.. With the body fluid they secrete from their bodies, the wings come to life and gain the ability to fly.. Isn’t it a complete miracle?
