Since I'm still wearing my safari hat.... I think it's been a couple years since I posted this one. If not, it should go pretty quickly. Find the bugs hiding in the answers to these clues. Each clue is followed by two numbers which indicate (the length of the answer word, length of the bug type). The bug spelling will appear in the proper order but not necessarily continuous. -1. a ferrous attraction? (9,6) -2. use a bug bomb (8,4) -3. the Merrimack or the Monitor (7,4) -4. misrepresent (7,3) -5. military watercraft (7,4) -6. H1N1 is one form (9,4) -7. South African racial segregation (9,5) -8. a single great stone (8,4) -9. to become dense (7,4) -10. she's the Beauty (5,3) -11. eradicate an ant colony (11,7) -12. watches over (7,4) -13. boxing division with an upper limit of 126 pounds (13,6)

6. Influenza virus. I have one more letter. Am I wrong?

Curly, you have the first word right. The second word is the bug that's hidden in the first word, which is four letters. Marian

I think Doreen meant that answer for 9.
Bob As I've grown older, I've found that my memory is not as good as I used to think it was.

There I go, memorizing these answers with a bad memory. #5 is actually different. The longer word starts with a "g" Rescinded my disposition of Gails answer
