US zoo opens its annual "Butterfly Jungle" attraction aimed at fun and awareness.

Thousands of butterflies float and flutter around an aviary at the San Diego Zoo in the US for the opening of the annual butterfly jungle.

The walk-through attraction has been transformed into a temporary home for over 30 species.

While fun for both adults and children, the five week long event also raises awareness of the plight of declining butterfly populations
