I haven't got all the way through, but what sort of critter has five legs, apart from something that breaches the leg rule and has lost one? Also, there should be a definition of "earwiginess", Nutek would need that!

I think W needs something on wasps " .... not to be confused with yellow jackets.

If you see a wasp hanging around your house it is best to go indoors and wait for the first frost, especially if you live in Texas or south Florida. "

I'm not an arachnologist, but I don't think your illustration for R is a Rabid wolf spider. .... You might also want to recheck whether the picture for W is a weevil? .... I don't see enough legs, but as you're the adjudicator, I'll leave the final ruling on that to you.

I had to make a couple of.... adjustments. I was hoping they would sneak through. is it really noticeable?

(Did you SEE that damn spider?? *shudder*)

I was quite pleased with the rendition of Assassin Bugs.

Well it is larger, than any spider I've ever seen, and more hairy too, I'll give you that. I've also never seen such scary looking ears on a spider either!

I'm undecided on the Odd Beatle. I found them all kind of odd to be honest.

There are surprisingly few things that start with an O. Otherwise it was going to be the orb weaver spider.

Even a random Beatle is preferable to a spider. well, all except Paul that is.
