Grasshopper's fabled foil (3)

I believe the answer is:

ant

(Other definitions for ant that I've seen before include "Six-footer" , "Member of colony" , "One working hard" , "The insect lives in a social colony" , "One more provident than Grasshopper" .)

I've seen this clue in The Wall Street Journal.
