Ladybird, for example (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

insect

(Other definitions for insect that I've seen before include "Invertebrate, often winged" , "Small six-legged creature" , "Eg, bee, mosquito" , "Entangle; open fabric" , "Small invertebrate creature" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
