Insect in game with long hops? (7)
I believe the answer is:
cricket
This could be a double definition.
'insect' is the first definition.
(cricket is a kind of insect)
'game with long hops?' is the second definition.
'cricket' can be an answer for 'game' (I've seen this before). I am not certain of the 'with long hops?' bit.
'in' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for cricket that I've seen before include "a jumper" , "Six-footer" , "Jumping insect" , "Ball game" , "short leg seen on this field?" .)
