Size It Up Insects answer: November 6
The five Insects silhouettes for November 6, with the true sizes. If you have not played yet, this page is a spoiler — play these five first, then come back to argue with the numbers.
Day 64 ran from a red flour beetle (3.45 mm) to an Annam stick insect (10.3 cm). The widest gap was round 5, Large Milkweed Bug against Annam Stick Insect, at 6.9×; the closest call was round 3, Harlequin Ladybird against Firebrat, only 1.4× apart — the kind of round that separates a 90 from a 60.
