Pastonkik: Maskejamôgwses

A collection of insect photographs by nature photographer Kimberly J Tilley. In this book there are a few of her favourite images of butterflies, bees, spiders, dragonflies, and ladybirds. The images were created from 2007 - 2020 at various locations in the USA. This book series title, Pastonkik, means "in the United States" and it comes from the Abenaki language. The Abenaki are from the Northeast. Native American languages and Latin are used in this series to identify specimens. There are 18 books in total featuring Kimberly's favourite landscapes, waterscapes, insects, plants, birds and wildlife images.

"These soon-to-be butterflies were photographed in Maine. Milkweeds are a vital plant for the species to survive. Wild open landscapes, where milkweeds thrive, are disappearing. This is a critical pollinating species that needs your help to prevent it's extinction. Please consider planting native milkweeds if you have the outdoor space." -Page 44
