Insect originally taken by man with other insects (7)
I believe the answer is:
beetles
'other insects' is the definition.
'beetles' can be an answer for 'insects' (beetle is a kind of insect). I am not sure about the 'other' bit.
'insect originally taken by man' is the wordplay.
'insect' becomes 'bee' (bee is a type of insect).
'originally' suggests taking the first letters.
'by' means one lot of letters go next to another.
'man' becomes 'les' ().
The first letter of 'taken' is 't'.
'bee'+'t'+'les'='BEETLES'
'with' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for beetles that I've seen before include "Lets bee turn to insects" , "Bet eels could turn into insects" , "Four-winged insects" .)
