copy geometry to particles?

Is it possible to copy an animated geometry to a particle system? I'd like to have a simple particle system (like maybe 10 particles) and make the particles butterflies. Is there a way I can do this in unity?

thanks

That'll be more of a random movement script then, wouldn't it?

Basically you can also animate particles in a way that they cycle through their texture sheet. Just refer to the "Texture Sheet Animation":
http://docs.unity3d.com/Documentation/Manual/ParticleSystemModules40.html

So what you actually do is to use a texture sheet containing all the different animation states of the butterfly and have Unity change the UV coordinates to show a new image from the sheet. That's basically how the texture sheet animation works.

So bottom line is: Don't use your own textured mesh, create a texture sheet for particles instead and animate those.
