Butterfly Seasons: Autumn

Dallas County Lepidopterist' co-founder Dale Clark brings the third installment in a series on butterflies through the seasons. While Fall typically signifies the winding down of the year, it is actually one of the most active and exciting times to observe butterflies in Dallas. From rare and unusual strays that wander up from the south, to the regular emigrant species that show up every year, and of course, the annual migration south of the Monarch butterfly. The cast of players is large and varied filled with stories of success--and failures. $15, $10 for TDG Members. Sign up today!
