Creature that eats pile of fish revolting to them (6,4)
I believe the answer is:
carpet moth
'creature that eats pile' is the definition.
The definition and answer can be both animals as well as being singular nouns.
Perhaps there's an association between them I don't understand?
'fish revolting to them' is the wordplay.
'fish' becomes 'carp' (carp is a kind of fish).
'revolting' is an anagram indicator.
'to'+'them'='tothem'
'tothem' with letters rearranged gives 'etmoth'.
'carp'+'etmoth'='CARPET-MOTH'
'of' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for carpet moth that I've seen before include "Destructive insect" , "Large insect" .)
