Insect found in Quantocks (3)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

ant

'insect' is the definition.
(ant is a kind of insect)

'in quantocks' is the wordplay.
'in' indicates the answer is hidden within the clue.
'ANT' is hidden within 'quantocks'.

'found' is the link.

(Other definitions for ant that I've seen before include "One working hard" , "Small social insect" , "Worker on the hill" , "` `Go to the ... thou sluggard' '" , "that may be a soldier" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
