Explanation

Butterflies are insects, and all insects have six legs by definition. Their legs are attached to the thorax (middle body segment) and are used for perching, tasting food through chemoreceptors, and in some species, grasping mates during courtship. The six-legged characteristic distinguishes insects from other arthropods.
