Beetles wandering round in cooler peat (10)
I believe the answer is:
coleoptera
'beetles' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
'wandering round in cooler peat' is the wordplay.
'wandering round in' indicates an anagram.
'cooler'+'peat'='coolerpeat'
'coolerpeat' with letters rearranged gives 'COLEOPTERA'.
(Another definition for coleoptera that I've seen is " beetles".)
I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
Want a hint initially instead of a full solution?
