Our Research Sense Organs |
They perceive sounds with their ears on the side-abdomen.
Butterflies taste with the proboscis and mainly with the feet
which are covered with numerous sophisticated sense organelles. Species without
proboscis only taste with their feet.

A butterfly's most sensitive sense organelles can be found on the antennae.
These organelles enable some species to perceive pheromones (females' fragrances)
from a distance of a few miles, even if there are only single molecules of
pheromones in the air.
