Bug in more ways than one (6)
I believe the answer is:
earwig
'bug' is the definition.
(I know this)
I don't understand how the remainder of the clue works.
(Other definitions for earwig that I've seen before include "It creeps and crawls" , "Fork-tailed insect" , "Small insect with pincers at end of its body" , "creepy-crawly" , "Small insect with aural toupee?" .)
