Creep reported Flora's partner (5)
I believe the answer is:
fauna
'flora's partner' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)
'creep reported' is the wordplay.
'creep' becomes 'fawner' (someone who fawns over others).
'reported' indicates a 'sounds like' (homophone) clue.
'fawner' sounds like 'FAUNA'.
(Other definitions for fauna that I've seen before include "Region's animals" , "Wild animal life of an era" , "list of animal life" , "Animals of a region or habitat" , "Local animal life" .)
