Hi Again~
As I mentioned, I found myself in the same boat!! I looked and looked, and (as usual) just couldn't find what I was looking for (I was searching for a Bumble Bee Murrini myself...)
I'm a noob too, but I can't encourage you enough to TRY this yourself!!! I was absolutely DRIVEN to try (and succeed)...here's a link to Ryan's "Fish Murrni Tutorial" - much more complex than I needed, but gave me the basics (and, bless him, the courage!) to give my Bee Murrini a try:

After about 4 attempts, I was able to accomplish this below. Sorry about the somewhat fuzzy shots - my next purchase is going to be a good camera! Anyway, I think you should at least try...
I should have had my daughter take photos of my building of this murrini - so that I could post a bit of a step-by-step. My suggestion is to do a simple "sketch" using the "circles" format to give you an idea of how the layout should end up; start with a black rod (which can probably serve as a good "body" center) and work each side of wings from there. That's how I'd do it, at least...
Here's some (humbly proffered) photos of my Bee Murrini - they are about 5-6mm:
Just keep trying, baby!!! If you need more help, I'll try to guide you further...
