Amphibians with a way of getting into nets (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

newts

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

'amphibians' is the definition.
(I know this)

'way of getting into nets' is the wordplay.
'way of getting' becomes 'w' (I am not sure about this - if you are sure you should believe this answer much more).
'into' means one lot of letters goes inside another.
'w' going within 'nets' is 'NEWTS'.

'with a' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for newts that I've seen before include "Small amphibians, efts" , "Kind of water lizards or efts" , "creatures" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
