Not really wild as they were in the butterfly house at Chester Zoo. But they were so wonderful I had to share

I had a couple of complaints about the zoo - but basically because it is a good zoo !!!
Some of the enclosures are so big and well planted that you spend a long time playing spot the inhabitant lol often without succes !!! But it was designed for the animals and people are a secondary consideration so I shouldn't complain.
My second complaint is regarding the signposting and the map. It is so very big that you seem to walk mile upon mile. It would make far more sense to have the exhibits with some sort of numbering system and a fairly well defined route that you could take as we had to backtrack a few times because we had missed something vital. I know that you don't want a regimented route that you must take, but a few clues as to the best order to view things would be helpful haha
