Insect

If I were an insect I would be a butterfly.  I would fly around and tease little kids that are trying to catch me, I would then fly to the south for the winter and stay nice and warm and enjoy my days on the beach and sitting in trees, just flying around..  I would then have to lay my cocoon, which is my baby.  But for some reason I would just have to leave my child all alone to figure out the world on its own.
