How Many Legs Does A Butterfly Have?

Well my daughter asked me the other day how many legs does a butterfly have. The fact a caterpillar had many legs got her thinking about the transformation of caterpillar to butterfly and lead her to ask the question.

The answer is six. Butterflies have three distinct leg segments attached to it’s thorax. Now that’s a fact about butterflies I did not know!
