“Work out the bugs”

🟡🔵🔵🔵

🔵🔵

Hi Strands fans. A nice and easy one today, especially if you seek out the spangram first, as I did. There were a couple of false starts where I looked for "insects" and "entomology", but when I found the word "creepy" spelt from the top of the page, I just knew it had to be CREEPYCRAWLIES.

That made it simple to just 'tick' off insects and bugs as I saw them. SPIDER and MILLIPEDE completed the right-hand side, and the triple set of 'E's in the bottom-left corner made finding BEETLE a doddle.

The last two gave me a bit more trouble, but when I found TERMITE just above BEETLE, EARWIG was immediately revealed in the top-left corner for a speedy completion.
