Type of insect (9)

I believe the answer is:

cockroach

'type of insect' is the definition.

This is the entire clue.

(Other definitions for cockroach that I've seen before include "Household insect pest" , "Cork coach can be a pest" , "So-called black beetle" , "Rock coach turns out to be an insect" , "See pest" .)

I've seen this clue in The Mirror.
