Trendy A-lister finding stage for Scorpions (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

instar

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

'stage for scorpions' is the definition.
'instar' can be an answer for 'stage' (I have seen 'Developmental stage' mean 'instar' so perhaps 'stage' could also mean 'instar'). I'm unsure of the 'for scorpions' bit.

'trendy a-lister' is the wordplay.
'trendy' becomes 'in' ('in' can mean fashionable).
'a-lister' becomes 'star' (both can mean someone famous).
'in'+'star'='INSTAR'

'finding' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for instar that I've seen before include "Developmental stage" , "Form of insect" , "Small creature" .)
