And what a wonderful visit it was!!!

The farm is in Glenn Heights, Texas. Owned by Mr. Dale Clark who is also the founder of
The Dallas County Lepidopterists' Society and the creator of their website;

This is a wonderful site where we can learn about the Butterflies and Moths in our area of Texas.

They usually have open house tours once a year and I was fortunate to learn about it through Sheila who had met Dale Clark at the Fort Worth Botanic Gardens Butterfly Exhibit last year.
He invited her to the annual tour, but she couldn't go, so she let me know about it, and that is how I ended up on the tour.

Dale Clark is a very generous host, he had larval plants as prizes for the guests, refreshments and even let us look at his extensive collection of Butterfly and Moths specimens.
This picture is of one of the many specimen drawers he has.
