In the insect world they use a lot of pheromones in order to attract their opposite sex.
When you look closely on a butterfly, they do have some large antennas on their head. These antennas are used in addition to balance, also to get the scent of "things", hereby also the partner.
It is also thought that butterflies and other insects are sensitive of other wavelengths of light than what is visible to us humans.
Using special light-spectrum recording instruments we can capture different wavelengths reflected by these insects. Some look really quite amazing, and it is also thought that these patterns of "colors" not visible to man, play a role.
I would suggest a combination of both Pheromones and vivid colors not visible to the human eye. Pheromones for the long distance "phone call" (the male can sense the female pheromones from up to 2 kilometers away. Some moths can even sense their female as far away as 5 kilometers) and possibly colors when they are homed in.
Science is scarce regarding the aspect of different wave lengths of light. Science have started exploring this issue and this leads me to believe that many a book will in turn have to have added information to them in order to be 100% correct.

Monarch butterflies find a mate primarily through visual cues and pheromones. Males actively search for females during the breeding season, using their keen eyesight to spot potential mates.
