Beetle in hieroglyphics (6)

I believe the answer is:

scarab

(Other definitions for scarab that I've seen before include "Large dung beetle" , "Sacred dung-beetle" , "Beetle, considered to be divine in ancient Egypt" , "insect" , "Sacred Eygptian beetle" .)

I've seen this clue in The Wall Street Journal.
