Hill insect (3)

I believe the answer is:

ant

(Other definitions for ant that I've seen before include "one living in colonies" , "A soldier, for one" , "maybe in hill" , "Hill-dweller" , "One more provident than Grasshopper" .)

I've seen this clue in the Universal and the King Feature Syndicate.
