Brilliant, grasscarp. I got as far as green( from Opportunity Knocks) but was then stumped. Was it in one of your books or did you reason it out? I forgot all about the tiger in the tank. Have to give up and get some housework done.

29 Pea weevil?

[grasscarp]

Hi Quinie. I knew it had to begin with Green so I looked on an internet list of insects at those beginning with G, and voila!

Hi flopsymopsy:
3) Common Mayfly (think its a typo and should read pole instead of poly)
52) Robins pincushion

[flopsymopsy]

thanks owllady, it didnt twig that was a typo, as is usual for this quiz. lol
Its really a stinker this time. Mr Lyall must have a very good book as he is not an internet user.

Can anyone tell me where we can solve the anagrams 102 to113. I have tried different sites but still cannot solve any of them ?

[smurf]

managed to solve six on the universal anagram solver but cant get the rest, you are looking for the latin name

[smurf]

let me know if you find anywhere for the rest

[flopsymopsy]

Thanks smurf, those spiders must have been two of the easiest on the sheet, when you have the answer that is. lol
