Crossword Genius

Party worker lets out insects (4,7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

stag beetles

'insects' is the definition.
(stag beetle is a kind of insect)

'party worker lets out' is the wordplay.
'party' becomes 'stag' (stag party is a kind of party**).
'worker' becomes 'bee' (I've seen this before).
'out' indicates an anagram (out can mean wrong or inaccurate).
'lets' is an anagram of 'tles'.
'stag'+'bee'+'tles'='STAG-BEETLES'

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
