Beetle considered divine by ancient Egyptians (6)
I believe the answer is:
scarab
'beetle considered divine by ancient egyptians' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)
This is all the clue.
(Other definitions for scarab that I've seen before include "Large dark beetle" , "Beetle revered in ancient Egypt" , "crawler" , "insect" , "Beetle, sacred to the ancient Egyptians" .)
