If A Butterfly Lands on You It's Probably Tasting You -- And Other Interesting Truths

Carolyn Copper's Podcast

I’ve never set out to intentionally photograph butterflies, but the places I travel to intentionally photograph other species and landscapes, are often the same places I encounter amazing butterflies. Most of us learned something about butterflies during elementary school. We may even remember a bit about the astonishing lifecycle and transformation of butterflies. I remember some of what I learned about butterflies, but since I come across so many different butterflies doing all sorts of interesting behaviors – that I don’t remember learning about – I was curious to brush up on my butterfly facts. I’m glad I did. Listen for some amazing truths you may not know about butterflies, including that they taste with their feet.
