Bug - listening bug! (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

earwig

(Other definitions for earwig that I've seen before include "listen in?" , "An insect; to eavesdrop (slang)" , "Small insect with aural toupee?" , "A bug for Americans" , "Insect with pincer-like tail" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
