"The Mummy" insect (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

scarab

(Other definitions for scarab that I've seen before include "Sacred beetle of ancient Egypt" , "Beetle regarded as divine by ancient Egyptians" , "Sacred beetle of Eygpt" , "Large dung beetle" , "Old abuse" .)

I've seen this clue in The Washington Post.
