bronly and bonnie.edwards43 are right. You have a butterfly plush.
I found an identical looking plush:
Vintage Gund Butterfly Plush Green Bug 

www.etsy.com/.../vintage-gund-butterfly-plush-green...

It has a tag with 1992 year.  
On the back of the plush there are butterfly wings. 
The price is $26.
The seller wrote: 
"Rare Butterfly Plush Stuffed Animal

I'm not sure there is a vintage Baby Gund Butterfly on the Gund site but there is a newer version.

The site that WorlDA gave is of the same type as yours (although it may be in better condition) so if you keep checking on this listing and it sells, then whatever it sold for would be the current value.
It is listed for $26 but we have no way to know how long it has been listed for sale - maybe weeks/months/years?

One of the problems with correctly identifying your plush could be because there was no picture of the back so there was no idea your plush had wings.

I think it's an imaginary type of bug.
From what I have seen on etsy, 1992 Gund stuffed toys are in the $25 range.

He's cute but I have not seen anything similar.
I believe he may fall in a 'space/alien' category.
It's very difficult to find names for almost any stuffed toy as most companies do not usually place names on tags and sellers usually have no idea what the original name was (very few are sold as new)..

If you place 'Baby Gund' on search with eBay you will see about 8,900 listings show up. All will not be baby gund but similar items.
Baby Gund 1992 on eBay will show only a few listings as most sellers do not know the year of production.

Checking eBays sold listings for Baby Gund shows about 1,300 sold over the past several months.
Checking sold prices for the current value it appears the highest price paid for any Baby Gund was $32.99 but the majority sold for less than $20.

You can try asking for information on doll ID sites.
You will have to join but it is free.
They will want to see a picture of the tag as well as the toy.
Members will not usually provide any information about value.

You may consider listing your doll at a higher price to see if you get any offers - if no offers after several weeks then lower the price.

I would list on any site but eBay and Etsy are not very user-friendly for new sellers.

I think your plush has antennas and it's an insect. Gund made a lot of frogs, snails in those years, so I think it's an insect

You didn't post a photo of back, so it's hard to tell what kind of insect it is. The antennae are long...maybe it's a ladybug or a butterfly.

I checked the Gund site. It is listed as a butterfly. I have no idea what it's worth. Just wanted to ID it.
