Crop-destroying insect (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

locust

(Other definitions for locust that I've seen before include "Voracious grasshopper that travels in swarms" , "Clouts (anag)" , "Sort of migratory grasshopper" , "Part of destructive plague" , "Destructive winged insect" .)

I've seen this clue in The Sun, The Mirror and the New York Times.
