Bug terribly hot it admits, being drawn to flame (5,4)
I believe the answer is:
tiger moth
'drawn to flame' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this definition defines the answer.
'bug terribly hot it admits' is the wordplay.
'bug' becomes 'germ' (synonyms).
'terribly' is an anagram indicator.
'admits' indicates putting letters inside.
'hot'+'it'='hotit'
'hotit' anagrammed gives 'tioth'.
'germ' inserted inside 'tioth' is 'TIGER-MOTH'.
'being' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for tiger moth that I've seen before include "Plane" , "Woolly bear" , "Insect - aeroplane" , "this one has brightly-coloured wings" , "producer of woolly bears" .)
