Winged insect munches dog-ends gladly
I believe the answer is:
daddylonglegs
'winged insect' is the definition.
'daddy long legs' can be an answer for 'insect' (I've seen this before). I'm not certain of the 'winged' bit.
'munches dog-ends gladly' is the wordplay.
'munches' indicates an anagram (I've seen 'munched' mean this (letters munched or crushed into a new order)).
'dog'+'ends'+'gladly'='dogendsgladly'
'dogendsgladly' with letters rearranged gives 'DADDY-LONGLEGS'.
