Insect with pincers (6)
I believe the answer is:
earwig
'insect with pincers' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)
This is all the clue.
(Other definitions for earwig that I've seen before include "A bug for Americans" , "Aural kind of insect" , "Common garden insect" , "Creepy type" , "court" .)
