Only 50 copies were printed and now all have been spoken for! In addition to being in the hands of Kickstarter supporters and people both in Philly and beyond, 7 copies are at Philadelphia grade schools, one copy is at the Tyler Arboretum, another in the Academy of Natural Sciences of Drexel University Library, and one is on its way to the Pennsylvania Historical Society’s Library! Thank you all! I hope the book supports and fuels appreciation and understanding of these diverse and awesome animals.

If there is enough interest, I’ll do another round of printing!
However, I need you to understand the situation. The printing situation is more complicated than just filling out a print order, unfortunately. I self-published the book using the exclusive software of a company that was then bought by its competition (Shutterfly bought MyPublisher). MyPublisher shutdown the software and was unable to give me a malleable digital version of the book. All I have are the screenshots of each page. Therefore, it will take considerable time to reconstruct the book for printing.
So, if there is considerable interest, I will move forward and create the second edition.
If you are interested, please fill out the form below so I can keep you updated!


I’ve opened up shop at RedBubble and have started to trickle in my photographic designs.
There you can purchase masks, T-shirts, mugs, stickers, and more.
I’ve started off with this Emerald Moth (Phrudocentra janeira) that I photographed in Costa Rica.

I will donate 10% of all proceeds to conserve the habitat of the insect featured in each design.
For this moth, proceeds will go to the Guanacaste Dry Forest Conservation Fund (GDFC).
