Butterfly Legs and Feet

Wow! I just learned an interesting fact. The legs of butterflies are attached to the thorax. Do you know what a thorax is? It is the front part of a butterfly's body. Now for the next thing! The legs are jointed on a butterfly. Now that's an interesting fact!. Oh, here's a great fact, butterflies can actually taste with their feet! Now, that's cool! I can't even do that. Butterflies have six legs. Their legs are very long. Wow, that's all I can say, wow! I bet you only can say ... WOW! OK, let's go on. Now this is almost the last fact, so you better listen. They have 3 pairs of legs. Now listen to this last fact. They not only have three pairs of legs, they also have the legs at the front. Now folks that's all we have today!

I got my information from a book called BUTTERFLIES AND MOTHS.
