Insect that might possibly take to the wing (6)
I believe the answer is:
mayfly
'insect' is the definition.
(mayfly is a kind of insect)
'might possibly take to the wing' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite see how this works, but
'might' could be 'may' (I've seen this in another clue) and 'may' is found within the answer.
'wing' could be 'fly' (synonyms) and 'fly' is found in the answer.
No letters remain.
This explanation may well be incorrect...
'that' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for mayfly that I've seen before include "Short-lived insect with delicate wings" , "Short-lived spring insect" , "Ephemeral insect" .)
