Very cute and clever! I liked this one very much - please submit more!
Very creative!
for # 3 I saw mite and stopped looking.
Well done. It was fun and challenging.
About as hard as looking for a bus in a haystack.
That was fun, although I had to read the first one 4 times before I got it. The other 2 were a piece of cake.
Quite easy, surprised there was only 3. Also, I think the general rule is to not hide a word within another word, it should be split between two words.
Very easy. I didn't get to the end of a sentences without spotting it. I got the the comma after "wee", and knew it had to be right there.
Mite is correct, of course. I understand the objection to "moth" because it is all in one word.

Great teaser. I loved it. Very cute.
Fun and easy!
^_^ good one
The first and the third ones were quite easy ... I had to actually look up a weevil to see what it is ... LOL ... good teaser - keep it up!!
I got the last two. I liked it because the other ones like this are always soooooo hard, and I'm like an inch from the screen with my eyes bugging out and still don't figure it out!
Really fun one !
lol.. i was looking for 'bugs' as in incorrectness in the sentences and had to be exterminated and was breakin my head
I liked the "bus in a haystack" notion.
Once in a while the comments stir up more amusement than the puzzle itself.
Hee Haw!!!

Yeah..bus in a haystack! I love that! I keep saying I like easy! and that one was!
Like "Kauphi...", I was looking for punctuation & grammatical errors, for which I discovered plenty?
That is why it is always prudent, to provide an example!
I found the actual bugs( creatures ), to be quite boring compared to the other?
