Best Answer

Many species are differently coloured, the male being brighter and the female more drab, brown etc.

Species which don't have this (many as well) can be told apart by looking at their genitals - males do have some kind of penis, shaped differently for every species, but it takes some effort to make it visible as it resides inside the last segment of the body until mating time itself. You'd need special equipment and a microscope, and the butterfly would need to be dead (but not squished, obviously).
