This year, San Diego Zoo's SafariPark (formerly Wild Animal Park) hosts an annual butterfly Pavilion in April. It is well worth the trip but be prepared for crowds and heat. Bring a good close-up lens and flash. Butterflies fly everywhere and land where ever they want, so watch where you step! If you stand in one place for awhile, a butterfly might even land on you. They seemed to like tall people with straw hats or yellow shirts. Happy butterflying!
