Noisy summer insect (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

cicada

'noisy summer insect' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

This is the entire clue.

(Other definitions for cicada that I've seen before include "Flier" , "Shrill bug" , "Chirpy insect" , "Droning insect" , "The insect produces a high-pitched sound" .)

I've seen this clue in the L.A. Times Daily, The Washington Post, the Universal and the Sydney Morning Herald.
