          Nice theme! (I really liked how the revealer at 39A was both apt and natural, and 45D also especially tickled me for some reason.)
          Maybe worth it for the theme and/or cleverness, but strictly speaking, 20A is not themed on (or created by the effects of) an insect, but an arachnid.
          • Nick constructor · 2023-10-19T22:31:08.070Z
            Thanks so much! And yeah, good call on 20A. I figured insect was close enough even if it isn't technically correct. But just as I was responding to your comment, something hit me so going to make a quick edit. Really appreciate it!
