Pestilent crop stripper (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

locust

(Other definitions for locust that I've seen before include "Sort of migratory grasshopper" , "Voracious insect, travels in swarms" , "Clouts (anag)" , "It strips plants" , "Destructive winged insect" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
