Parasitic arachnids (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

ticks

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

This is all the clue.

(Other definitions for ticks that I've seen before include "Bloodsuckers; seconds" , "Parasitic arachnids" , "Makes noise like old clock" , "Mites in mattress" , "Parasitic insects" .)

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