Drumroll, hey…

Strands #396
Get the bug
Hi Strands fans.
Today’s theme - “Get the bug” - is about as transparent as it gets.
The only issue was remembering how to spell ENTOMOLOGY, which I pretty immediately spotted as the spangram.
So, insects then.
Still, I gamely muddled through.
ASSASSIN wasn’t a species I’d heard of, but the word was right there under the spangram.
That just left POTATO in the bottom-left corner to complete the half.
Moving onto the top half, I found STINK in the top-right corner and LADY to its left.
That just left LIGHTNING - another species I hadn’t heard of - to complete the puzzle.
