New -threads today (game #403) – the answers
The answers to today’s threads, game #403, is …
- Wings
- Thorax
- TONGUE
- ABDOMEN
- Stinger
- Antennas
- Spanggram: Bumble Bee
- My rating: Moderate
- My score: 1 tip
The first few words I found in today’s search were wings and thorax, so I knew we were looking for something to do with insects, but I wasn’t sure which one was getting the tension right at the end. A timely theme as we enter the peak period of hop activity.
Some hops are extraordinary buzzy. Generally, they come in peace and do not use their stinger on people as they are only interested in two things – getting nectar from flowers and getting caught in window blinds.
Interestingly, if you are stabbed by a bumble bee, it will be of a woman as male drones have no weapons at all – except being annoying.
How did you do today? Tell me that in the comments below.
