Hello Team 1
Here is a fun fact: Butterflies taste food by standing on top of it…they taste with their feet! That’s because their taste receptors are in their feet unlike humans who have most on their tongue.
Imagine if we could taste food with our feet like butterflies…
I’m in school on Thursday, so I won’t be able to reply to any of your message’s tomorrow. I’ll be back on Friday, so I can reply to them then :-)
