FAQ

Common questions

Does every word name an insect?

No. WING, HIVE, THORAX, and PUPA are related terms. Sorting the finished list into names, body parts, and life-cycle words gives the puzzle a second use.

Which list includes butterflies?

BUTTERFLY appears in the medium puzzle alongside DRAGONFLY and CATERPILLAR. Check that list if you want familiar insect vocabulary with some longer spellings.
