<p>Yes, butterflies use their feet to taste. They have tiny taste receptors on their feet that allow them to taste the plants they land on. A female butterfly lands on different plants and drums the leaves with her feet until the plant releases its juices. The receptors help them determine if the plant is suitable for laying eggs or not. Butterflies of any biological sex also step on their food to taste it, using organs that sense dissolved sugars to taste food sources like fermenting fruit.</p>

<p>Cockroaches are notorious for their resilience, but did you know that they can live for several weeks without their heads? This is because they have an open circulatory system, which allows them to breathe through small holes in their bodies. Cockroaches do not need their head to breathe, but they need water to survive.&nbsp;Without a head, they can&#8217;t drink water and usually die of dehydration.</p>
