That is an interesting way to make a cosine ;)

No, I have not (see source in pbs-f)
I am afraid it was a lot more work than that.

No:

  Atalanta(animSin01(clock))

It looks reasonable. I am sure the wings do not
move like a sinusoid, but my brain does not
object to this movement as unrealistic.
I probably would have tried something more
complicated then a pure sinusoid myself, so
thanks for preventing another level of complexity.

No to make it even remotely behaving like a butterfly
I have increase the framerate and then at 32 frames
30 frames per second it still is in slow motion.

Thanks for your comment.
