Mongoose or parasitic wasp (9)
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" .)
