Butterflies are almost exclusively day fliers, while moths are largely nocturnal.
Butterflies often have slim antennae that end in a little club, whereas moths often have feathery antennae.
Moths tend to have large, squat, hairy bodies whereas butterflies have slim streamlined ones.
Many butterflies rest with their wings up so when seen from the side the dark-coloured underwings are seen rather than the bright upper surface, whereas moths often rest with their wings flat open.
There are exceptions in every case with this list, but it's a good rule of thumb to work by.
