Beetle turned out as crab (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

scarab

(Other definitions for scarab that I've seen before include "Dung beetle - ancient Egyptian cut gem" , "Large dung beetle" , "Beetle revered by ancient Egyptians" , "Sacred beetle of Eygpt" , "Old abuse" .)

I've seen this clue in The Irish Times.
