This simple animation was created as follows:  The butterfly object was made (just a couple of polygons, hinged), then a basic repeating animation of the wings - up, center, down, center.  Next I animated a circular flying movement, with rotation to make it look like the butterfly really was flying in a circle.  Finally, wobbler was used to add the necessary randomness to the flight, before rendering in toon up."
