Thanks on capturing weirdly natural, scary creature (9)
I believe the answer is:
tarantula
'scary creature' is the definition.
'tarantula' can be an answer for 'creature' (tarantula is a kind of creature). I am not sure about the 'scary' bit.
'thanks on capturing weirdly natural' is the wordplay.
'thanks on' becomes 'ta' (UK informal version of 'thank you'. I am not sure about the 'on' bit.).
'capturing' is an insertion indicator.
'weirdly' is an anagram indicator.
'natural' with letters rearranged gives 'arantul'.
'ta' placed around 'arantul' is 'TARANTULA'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for tarantula that I've seen before include "hairy creature" , "A big hairy spider" , "small, venomous creature" , "Large venomous spider" , "Leggy creature" .)
