Annoying being part of cult? (6)
I believe the answer is:
insect
'annoying being' is the definition.
The definition and answer can be both animals as well as being singular nouns.
Perhaps they are linked in a way I don't understand?
'part of cult?' is the wordplay.
'part of' becomes 'in' (I've seen this in other clues).
'cult?' becomes 'sect' (I've seen this before).
'in'+'sect'='INSECT'
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for insect that I've seen before include "Small creature with six legs and no backbone" , "Small invertebrate creature" , "Bee or beetle, for example" , "Eg, beetle or fly" , "cricket, say" .)
