The male Monarch Butterfly may be easily distinguished from the female by noting the two highly visable black spots on the insect's hind wings and the thinner black webbing within the wings. The female's webbing is thicker and she has no identifying wing spot as the male does. === ===
It depends on the species of butterfly the differences in species may be subtle - males generally have more angular wings, longer thinner bodies, brighter colours, and stronger patterns than females of the same species. There are usually obvious differences in behaviour as well - males tend to actively patrol their habitats, or to establish a small territory which they defend against other butterflies. Females by comparison are far more sedentary, and in the early part of their flight period tend to stay in areas where both adult and larval food sources are present.In many species there are obvious visual differences. The Polyommatinae ( Blues ) for example usually have blue males and brown females. Only the male orange tip has the orange wing tips. The males of Hairstreaks, Satyrines, large Fritillaries and Skippers often have androconia ( scent scales ) in the form of dark patches or streaks on the upperside forewings. The male Large Skipper has a diagonal band of androconia on his forewings and the male Silver-washed Fritillary has four bands of androconia on his forewings.To tell if a monarch butterfly is a male or female, you need to look for a special spot. The special spot is called an alar spot. If the butterfly is male, it will have an alar spot on a vain on each hind wing.
The male's wing color is often brighter than the female's.
he color pattern on the upper wing (dorsal) surfaces often differs in many species of butterflies. For example, in species of Blues, the male's dorsal wing color is often bright blue, whereas that of females has lots of brown.
Another good way to tell the difference between male and female butterflies is by behavior. Males are often perching or patrolling in search of females, and females spend a lot time searching for plants on which to lay their eggs.
The final and definitive way is to examine the abdomen. Females tend to have rounder abdomens. Males have a slit at the tip, and females have a round holes where the eggs are laid. It is especially difficult to separate the sexes of some Brushfoots such as Mourning Cloaks and Tortoiseshells.
the black dots on their wings...
the female does not have the dot and the boy does\
so there its as simple as that!
Hold it next to your ear, if it starts humping its a boy...
the one with a weinis is a boy. the one with nothing that you can see is a girl.
In order to tell if its a boy or a girl, you will need to look at its admen. The girls are slightly larger than the boys.
Look under its tail.
The Viceroy Butterfly looks almost identical to the monarch butterfly, and that makes the viceroy a mimic. Birds know that monarchs are not good to eat, so the viceroy avoids being eaten by looking like the monarch. The queen butterfly, the painted lady and others are sometimes mistaken for monarch butterflies.
You can tell the difference between a male and female Monarch butterfly by examining their wings. The male Monarch butterfly has two black spots on its wings while the female does not. The male also has thinner vein lines through its wings than the female.
The best way to tell you the size of a butterfly brain is to compare it to something instead of giving an actual measurement. Their brain is roughly same size as the point of a ball point pen.
Camouflage, in which the color of the animal helps it blend into the environment, hiding the insect. The Australian leafwing butterfly, for example, is shaped and colored like a leaf.Warning (or aposematic) coloration: brightly-colored butterflies and moths are either bad-tasting or a mimic of similar-looking bad-tasting butterflies.Attracting and finding mates, who look for certain colors and patterns.Deceiving predators into thinking they're bigger than they really are. Some wings have large "eyespots" which make the butterfly or moth look like the face of a larger animal (like an owl), scaring away some predators.Soaking up heat: dark-colored scales soak up heat very well when the butterfly suns itself. Like all insects, butterflies are cold-blooded. When they get too cold, they warm themselves in the sun.
There is no easy way to tell them apart without identifying the caterpillar to family or species. As a general rule, very few butterfly caterpillars are fuzzy or hairy, so furry caterpillars are most likely moths. Also, in the US, if the caterpillar is more than 2 inches long, it must be a moth larva. However, there are thousands of moth caterpillars and hundreds of butterfly caterpillars that could be described as "spiny" or "smooth". These come in all colors imaginable, and many different patterns. There are both moth and butterfly caterpillars that are black, green, red, orange, white, and other colors, and they may be smooth or spiny. Only by looking up what particular species matches your caterpillar's description will you know what it will turn into.
The only way to tell is to look at the admen. For girls it is slightly larger than boys since they hold the eggs.

Boy butterflies like leaves, girl butterflies like petals
easy....if its a boy it starts humping
dna if coloring the same for the species
you cant
I don't think you can until it changes into a butterfly or moth.
flip it over.
You should tell her that that u love her and she is is your lady and tell her u will be there for her.
The male Monarch has a black spot on each wing the female does not.

The male turtles have a longer tails and females has a shorter tails.
