Clue/Question:  The ant’s eggs hatched, and she didn’t mind a bit when the babies started – – –

Answer:  BUGGING HER

(A beautiful stinky pun . . . of a classic nature!  I’m pretty sure we’ve seen similar scenarios with flies and mosquitoes, somewhere throughout the long, and illustrious, history of the Jumble.  To humans, and to many mammals I suppose, insects are annoying.  That’s got to be part of the connection of being bugged by bugs.

All classic clue words today.  Some of them we haven’t seen in quite a while.  All of their jumbles appear to be new though.  I didn’t struggle with any of them though.  The answer letter layout was another fine jumble.  Not obvious.  As usual, the clue/question set the whole thing up very nicely.

The cartoon is great.  The mommy ant looks very motherly.  It looks like dad could be in construction.  I liked the little welcome mat, and the neighbor’s anthill across the way.  But, why does this ant family have a side door, instead of a top door like most anthills???  Some ants can be very destructive, but most are cool.  Except for fire ants!  They are literally a pain!  Be well and do good, friends.)   —   YUR
