Bloodsuckers; hangers-on (9)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

parasites

I believe this clue is a double definition.

'bloodsuckers' is the first definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

'hangers-on' is the second definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

(Other definitions for parasites that I've seen before include "Passengers" , "Hangers-on" , "unwelcome guests" , "They live off other organisms" , "they need indulgent hosts" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
