Dallas
County Lepidopterists' Society
CALENDAR OF EVENTS
For 2009
Membership in the Dallas County
Lepidopterists' Society is free!
Meetings are held in the winter months at
the Museum of Nature and Science (formerly
the Dallas Museum of Natural History) at Fair Park; spring, summer and fall we
are "in the field" visiting various locations in north Texas to observe,
collect and photograph butterflies and moths.
The DCLS Calendar of Events
covers all scheduled meetings and field trips as well as other "butterfly
happenings" in the area. Field trips are dependent on the weather, so if
it looks questionable be sure to check the website and your email the day of the
meeting in case of cancellation!
