Support the independent voice of Dallas and help keep the future of Dallas Observer free.
There are very few bugs that don’t deserve squashing. Flies deserve a swift, crunchy end to their lives, as do beetles. And no one likes a slug. But everyone loves butterflies. What’s not to love? The ugly ducklings of bugs transform from slinky caterpillars to gorgeous, friendly butterflies, which provide color to any backyard. If you want to spend some time with these winged wonders, the Texas Discovery Gardens (3601 Martin Luther King Jr. Blvd) host Butterfly House Discovery tours at 11 a.m. on the first Saturdays of the month. Admission is $8 for adults, $4 for children. More information at texasdiscoverygardens.org.
First Saturday of every month, 11 a.m. Starts: July 5. Continues through Jan. 3, 2014
Keep the Dallas Observer Free... Since we started the Dallas Observer, it has been defined as the free, independent voice of Dallas, and we would like to keep it that way. Offering our readers free access to incisive coverage of local news, food and culture. Producing stories on everything from political scandals to the hottest new bands, with gutsy reporting, stylish writing, and staffers who've won everything from the Society of Professional Journalists' Sigma Delta Chi feature-writing award to the Casey Medal for Meritorious Journalism. But with local journalism's existence under siege and advertising revenue setbacks having a larger impact, it is important now more than ever for us to rally support behind funding our local journalism. You can help by participating in our "I Support" membership program, allowing us to keep covering Dallas with no paywalls.
