Particles with turbulence work well using a rotation operator set to speed space follow - do a cycle of a wing flap and use it as a particle.

thanks for your tip

but there is only one butterfly coming from the depht close to the camera and sits down in front off. has to be really close. so you see hairs and all that stuff.
so some video stuff of a flying butterfly would be handy.

Have you checked any of the stock footage sites?
