Mongoose or parasitic wasp (9)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

ichneumon

I believe this is a double definition.

'mongoose' is the first definition.
(ichneumon is a kind of mongoose)

'parasitic wasp' is the second definition.
(I've seen this before)

(Other definitions for ichneumon that I've seen before include "mongoose" , "Parasitic wasp" , "African native" , "snake-slayer" , "Fly" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times and The Sunday Times.
