Dust ___ (tiny critter) (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

mite

(Other definitions for mite that I've seen before include "Minute arachnid" , "Arachnid; small child" , "Tiny contribution, child" , "Child; a small amount" , "Tiny creature found in food" .)

I've seen this clue in The New York Times.
