Crossword Genius

Feeling appendage, all toes bandaged by girl (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

antenna

'feeling appendage' is the definition.
(for insects)

'all toes bandaged by girl' is the wordplay.
'all toes' becomes 'ten' (complete count).
'bandaged by' indicates putting letters inside (I've seen this in other clues).
'girl' becomes 'anna' ().
'ten' inserted inside 'anna' is 'ANTENNA'.

(Other definitions for antenna that I've seen before include "Feature of dish" , "one feels" , "Radio aerial" , "could send out a message" , "Insect's sensory appendage" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
