Through which a moth ingests a bit of grub (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

mouth

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'ingests a bit of grub' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this definition defines the answer.

'through which a moth' is the wordplay.
'through' is an insertion indicator.
'which' becomes 'u' (I am not sure about this - if you are sure you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'u' going within 'moth' is 'MOUTH'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for mouth that I've seen before include "River part - conversation opener?" , "Gob" , "Oral cavity" , "Where a river enters the sea" , "trap" .)
