Bloodsucking parasitic insect (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

louse

'bloodsucking parasitic insect' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

This is the entire clue.

(Other definitions for louse that I've seen before include "Wingless bloodsucker" , "Human parasite" , "25 [PARASITE]" , "Rogue" , "Common parasite on animals" .)

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