Who has been to the butterfly jungle exhibit at the Wild Animal Park in San Diego? For those who have, I'd love to see some of your pics from the event. For those who haven't, I highly recommend it. This year it runs from April 4-26. Lots of butterflies, not at all camera shy, and decent light. The best time to go IMO is the middle of the event: at the start it is too crowded, but by the end the butterflies have begun to die off.


Here are some shots I got last year or the year before (I don't remember which are from which):
