Black box is orange - or so I've always been led to believe.

Black box is Orange and entemophobia is insects isn't it?

Don't know about entemophobia but entomophobia is the fear of insects.

number 3 could be insects, if it's entomophobia. And as a guess for number 1, i'd say orange - ie something that'd show up amongst the debri.

Thanks folks! No 3 isn't insects, unless there's a typo in the question!

I think it's a typo honey....I'd go with insects cos a quick search on the web shows nothing up for entemophobia apart from one hit for insects so someone else has obviously mis-spelt it as well.....
