Aardvark's entree (4)
I believe the answer is:
ants
'aardvark's entree' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)
This is all the clue.
(Other definitions for ants that I've seen before include "Termites" , "Emmets" , "Small social insects" , "They live in a formicary" , "Inhabitants of a formicary" .)
