Insect bearing a pair of abdominal pincers (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

earwig

(Other definitions for earwig that I've seen before include "Eavesdrop (informal)" , "A bug for Americans" , "It's a strange insect, I wager" , "Pincered insect" , "Small insect with aural toupee?" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
