Mosquito-like insect (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

midge

'mosquito-like insect' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

This is the entire clue.

(Other definitions for midge that I've seen before include "Tiny biting fly" , "Small swarming biting insect" , "Tiny swarming insect" , "Tiny swarming fly" , "Minute mosquito-like fly" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
