Spooner’s no drink in the pot for this creature? (9)
I believe the answer is:
dragonfly
'spooner's no drink in the pot for this creature?' is the definition.
'dragonfly' can be an answer for 'creature?' (dragonfly is a kind of animal). I am unsure of the remainder of the definition.
'for this creature?' is the wordplay.
'for' becomes 'dragon' (I can't justify this - if you can you should believe this answer much more).
'this creature?' becomes 'fly' (fly is a kind of creature).
'dragon'+'fly'='DRAGONFLY'
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for dragonfly that I've seen before include "Large hovering insect" , "creature!" , "it wings along" , "Insect with two pairs of transparent wings" , "Large winged insect" .)
