Colonial insect (3)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

ant

(Other definitions for ant that I've seen before include "that may be a soldier" , "One more provident than Grasshopper" , "Proverbially hard-working insect" , "The insect lives in a social colony" , "` `Go to the ... thou sluggard' '" .)

I've seen this clue in the Universal, the Penny Press and The Times.
