A few of the words

MORPHO
The blue isn't pigment. Tiny scales on the wings bend the light, and the underside is a dull brown, which is why the butterfly seems to blink on and off in flight.Find this word in the grid to read its note.
LEAFCUTTER
Leafcutter ants don't eat the leaves they carry. They feed them to a fungus they farm underground, and the fungus is what feeds the colony.Find this word in the grid to read its note.
KATYDID
The name imitates the call. Males sing by rubbing their wings together, and many species look so much like leaves that you hear them long before you spot one.Find this word in the grid to read its note.
TARANTULA
Strictly speaking it's a spider, not an insect, but it crawls the same forest floor and no jungle puzzle feels right without one.Find this word in the grid to read its note.

Rainforest Insects: a free online word search

Rainforest insects word search, free and printable with no sign-up. Blue morphos flash through the understory while leafcutters march below.

About Rainforest Insects

Under the canopy, most of the living is done by animals smaller than your thumb. Leafcutter ants carry bits of leaf like green sails down the trail, and a blue morpho drifts through a sunbeam, flashing bright and then vanishing as it folds its wings. By evening the cicadas and katydids take over, and the whole forest seems to hum.

How to play

  1. 1
    Find a word.Tap its first letter, then tap along to its last. The trail fills in and finishes itself when it spells a word. Or press the first letter and drag.
  2. 2
    Words run in straight lines.Across and down, and on the harder difficulties diagonally and backwards.
  3. 3
    It marks itself.Each word you find takes on its own soft color on the grid and is crossed off the list.
  4. 4
    Choose a difficulty.The level you pick sets those directions and how much the word list helps, never the grid size. Tap the A buttons at the top to enlarge the letters, or pinch the grid.
