I believe the answer is:

scarab

(Other definitions for scarab that I've seen before include "divine creature" , "Beetle, considered to be divine in ancient Egypt" , "Sacred dung-beetle" , "Ancient Egyptian symbol" , "Beetle regarded as divine by ancient Egyptians" .)

I've seen this clue in The Mirror.
