Insects in colonies (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

ants

'insects in colonies' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

This is the entire clue.

(Other definitions for ants that I've seen before include "workers found returning" , "Inhabitants of a formicary" , "Small social insects" , "Emmets" , "Tiny insects that live in colonies" .)

I've seen this clue in the USA Today and the Universal.
