No. (I don't think any are...)
The decorative wings of Butterflies are designed to attract a mate (So there's one at least)


(Ignoring female aphids which under some circumstances produce geneticly identical female aphid offspring (identical to the mother) but otherwise always sexual)

A virgin queen will leave her hive on a mating flight about 5 days after hatching and will mate with about 30 or 40 drones (male bees) while 'on the wing'. Basically it's a gang-bang. The drones all die after mating and the queen returns to the hive and starts to lay after a few days. That one mating lasts for the rest of her life and she never does it again.
