A butterfly's antennae, palps, legs,and many other parts of the body are studded with sense receptors that are used to smell. The sense of smell is used for finding food (usually flower nectar), and for finding mates (the female smelling the male's pheromones).

Butterflies smell with their antennae to find nectar. Females use them to locate plants where they lay their eggs. Males use them to detect the scent of females for mating. A special organ at the base of the antennae helps butterflies to orient themselves during flight.
