An Obsession with Butterflies: Our Long Love Affair with a Singular InsectSharman Apt Russell again blends her lush voice and keen scientific eye in this marvelous book about butterflies. From Hindu mythology to Aztec sacrifices, butterflies have served as a metaphor for resurrection and transformation. Even during World War II, children in a Polish death camp scratched hundreds of butterflies onto the walls of their barracks. But as Russell points out in this rich and lyrical meditation, butterflies are above all objects
Sharman Apt Russell again blends her lush voice and keen scientific eye in this marvelous book about butterflies. From Hindu mythology to Aztec sacrifices, butterflies have served as a metaphor for resurrection and transformation. Even during World War II, children in a Polish death camp scratched hundreds of butterflies onto the walls of their barracks. But as Russell points out in this rich and lyrical meditation, butterflies are above all objects of obsession. From the beastly horned caterpillar, whose blood helps it count time, to the peacock butterfly, with wings that hiss like a snake, Russell traces the butterflies through their life cycles, exploring the creatures' own obsessions with eating, mating, and migrating. In this way, she reveals the logic behind our endless fascination with butterflies as well as the driving passion of such legendary collectors as the tragic Eleanor Glanville, whose children declared her mad because of her compulsive butterfly collecting, and the brilliant Henry Walter Bates, whose collections from the Amazon in 1858 helped develop his theory of mimicry in nature. Russell also takes us inside some of the world's most prestigious natural history museums, where scientists painstakingly catalogue and categorize new species of Lepidoptera, hoping to shed light on insect genetics and evolution. A luminous journey through an exotic world of obsession and strange beauty, this is a book to be treasured by anyone who's ever watched a butterfly mid-flight and thought, as Russell has, "I've entered another dimension."Binding Type: Paperback

Good, but not better than Pampers 360.
Size: Size 5, Unit Count: 100, Size: Size 5, Unit Count: 100
We use Pampers 360’s for our 18 month old, but we decided to try out Huggies 360’s to check if they were better
Huggies 360 differ from Pampers 360 in size. These Huggies are huge compared to Pampers, they fit true to size but are puffy and take up more space in the diaper bag and the diaper drawer.
My toddler prefers to run around wearing only a diaper. Huggies are less durable than Pampers, they will fray and pill more with the friction of surfaces.
They perform the same as the Pampers, we didn’t experience any leaks. They are also similar is softness to Pampers.
The elastic at the sides also seems tighter than Pampers.
The main reason we won’t be switching to Huggies 360 is that the absorbent panel in the front is wider and less flexible so more difficult to get into a comfortable position for my son’s anatomy.
They do function well as diapers, they just aren’t for us.

Good product overall
Size: 60 Count (Pack of 1)
Works really well, but only for a while. After about 3 or 4 weeks, it begins to stop working. Side effects-can leave you groggy if you don't get enough sleep. Helps you sleep better for a month or so. No odor. Good value for money, they don't cost a lot. Just melatonin and veggie caps. No other ingredients as far as I read

Works well I will continue buying them
Size: 60 Count (Pack of 1)
This melatonin gives me a good nights sleep. I thought it was 3 mg but it is not, my mistake! I take two of these because 3 mg doesn't do it for me. I sleep like a baby when I take these and wake up feeling rested.

Incredibly Helpful for Sleep & Not Hard to Swallow w/Water or w/o
Size: 60 Count (Pack of 1)
I shouldn't be taking these due to certain medical conditions, but they taste like nothing, super effective - like I fall asleep within maybe 30-45 minutes - and I STAY asleep watch is a lot more than I can say for any other melatonin products that I've used. Again, I do have restrictions, so I only take them once in a while, but so does my roommate and he says the same. They're small enough to not be hard to swallow as well. I've recommended them to some of my friends and family and we're all in agreement. I mean, of course, consult your doctor first, but like, these have been one of the most helpful supplements for sleep which is super important to me
