Possibly tigerish fliers? (5)
I believe the answer is:
moths
'possibly tigerish fliers?' is the definition.
Although both the answer and definition are plural nouns, I can't see how they can define each other.
This is all the clue.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for moths that I've seen before include "Night-flying insects" , "Nocturnal insects that breed in cloth" , "They're attracted to light" , "Insects related to butterflies" .)
