Simulacrum, effigies, statua; a likeness (5)

I believe the answer is:

imago

(Other definitions for imago that I've seen before include "Adult stage of an insect, typically winged" , "spinner, say" , "Last state of insect life" , "Final stage of insect development" , "being immature?" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
