Hi

[@lindafromcalifornia1155]

38/50 I definitely need to brush up on my knowledge on insects. ☺

[@Apptato]

Nicely done! These were quite challenging especially near the end.

[@secondmouse3533]

I believe crocodiles can grow up to 20 feet. But they usually have 4.

[@Apptato]

Good to know. Thanks for sharing!

[@docrock8415]

40 right. I think that's a good score considering the test is not multiple choice (Except for the few true or false questions).

[@Apptato]

Good work Doc Rock! Thanks for playing :)

[@aerofd]

A bug is any creepy crawly, An insect is just one with six legs.

[@birdlady2725]

I did way better than I thought I would! The few I did miss, I truly did not know which made me feel good, as I learn from these. Sadly, on some of the animal quizzes, I know many answers but my recall of words/names especially under pressure, shuts down. Very frustrating! A mix of head injury and old age, makes sluggish recollection. Hopefully, doing these will slow the process down so I don't forget everything Lol!

[@Apptato]

Glad you are finding these educational/entertaining! Yea, I hear you, the answers are sometimes at the tips of our tongues and becomes challenging to recall. Check out the channel when you have time. There are many word games that others have found quite fun!

[@SteveSmith-zz4ih]

33 right thats a fail. Good quiz.

[@Apptato]

Good job Steve! Thanks for playing :)

[@joshikrega]

[@cristinabumbac151]

Another good quiz! However question no 11 is maybe a little... questionable: the wings are part of the body of a bee? Are they considered..

[@cristinabumbac151]

annexes? Sry miss click! (Even I can do something wrong! lol!)

[@Apptato]

Insects by definition have 3 main components. Head, Thorax, Abdomen. It's one of the identifiers people use to classify them.

[@DH-sw6vg]

#21 answer is misspelled: Entomology

[@Apptato]

Good catch. Thanks for the correction!

[@minasmina9866]

No 9 is wrong: The trapdoor ant has the most painful bite and the bullet and has the most painful sting

[@Apptato]

Good catch Michael. Thanks for the clarification!

[@milesvincent1569]
