Wood-eating bug (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

borer

(Other definitions for borer that I've seen before include "creature entering wood" , "Insect tunnelling into plant" , "Tunnelling worm or insect" , "Uninteresting type of" , "Destructive worm, mollusc or insect" .)

I've seen this clue in the Newsday.
