What insects words are hidden in the grid?

Each puzzle draws eight words from a curated set of common Spanish insects vocabulary, shown in the word list below the grid.

In which directions do the words go?

Words can go in any of the eight directions — left, right, up, down and all four diagonals. Spanish accents are removed in the grid so you can focus on spelling.

Why are the words without accents in the grid?

Accents are stripped so the grid stays a standard letter grid. The correct accented Spanish word is always shown in the word list below.
