Plant pest (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

aphis

'plant pest' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

This is the entire clue.

(Other definitions for aphis that I've seen before include "Small insect" , "Greenfly" , "Plant louse" , "sucker?" , "Sap-sucking garden pest" .)

I've seen this clue in the Universal, the King Feature Syndicate and the Penny Press.
