AUTO BUTTERFLY v1 :: perspective movement

This drag-n-drop movie clip is a self-contained butterfly (or moth) that hovers around on its own. It stays in the general area that you determine and, best of all, it moves in perspective…getting smaller as it flies farther back and vice versa. You can add as many insect friends as you want and they will all do their own thing. Each butterfly can have a different color and/or flight area.

I’ve used this in my own website (zacharyknight.com).
