Six-legged worker (3)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

ant

(Other definitions for ant that I've seen before include "Six-footer" , "maybe in hill" , "Worker on the hill" , "One more provident than Grasshopper" , "The insect lives in a social colony" .)

I've seen this clue in the USA Today, the King Feature Syndicate, The Washington Post Sunday, the New York Times and the Wall Street Journal.
