The French tucked into wine after creepy-crawly with bony outgrowths (8)
I believe the answer is:
antlered
'with bony outgrowths' is the definition.
'the french tucked into wine after creepy-crawly' is the wordplay.
'the french' becomes 'le' ('the' in French).
'tucked into' means one lot of letters goes inside another.
'wine' becomes 'red' (red wine is an example).
'after' says to put letters next to each other.
'creepy-crawly' becomes 'ant' (ant is a kind of invertebrate).
'red' after 'ant' is 'antred'.
'le' put within 'antred' is 'ANTLERED'.
(Other definitions for antlered that I've seen before include "Dancer, for example, so" , "(Of deer) having horns" , "with horny growth" , "Horned like deer" .)
