A Correct answer

Butterflies have taste receptors on their feet, specifically their hind feet, which allow them to taste plants they land on. This helps them identify suitable host plants for laying eggs - they 'taste' with their feet before depositing eggs. The other body parts listed are not their primary taste organs.
