Answer:

The main features that would distinguish a butterfly from other insects are its wings and mouth. Butterfly (and moth) wings are covered with scales which gives them the color and pattern. If you touch the wings (and you really shouldn't), those scales come off on your fingers and look like dust. Also the mouth is unique - it is a coiled feeding tube called a proboscis. 

Butterflies and moths (Order Lepidoptera) still have all the other characteristics of insects (six legs, 3 body parts, antennae).

as you know here moth means insect

Butterflies have the power of flight,they can go great distances(for insects that is), which other insects cannot. They are also the product of a transformation, a new life if you will, from a caterpillar to a butterfly. :) :)
