The pronoun for the fly is "it." The sentence would read, "It wants to be a butterfly."
And for those of you who answered that there is no pronoun, please re-read the question. The question was asking for a pronoun to be provided.

Generally, we define a pronoun as a substitute for a noun to reduce redundancy. In your sentence, "the fly wants to be a butterfly" since its gender is a neuter, pronoun "it" would be appropriate for the next sentence. Eg. The fly wants to be a butterfly. "It" doesn't want to fly a around on dirty things anymore.

It in sigular, they in plural.
The fly wants to be a butterfly, and it (fly) hovers around the flower just like a butterfly does. They (flies plural) all want to be butterflies.
