Young insect (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

larva

'young insect' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

This is the entire clue.

(Other definitions for larva that I've seen before include "Early stage of creature" , "immature six-footer?" , "Caterpillar perhaps" , "Manage" , "Woodworm" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian and The Star Tribune.
