Insect larva (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

grub

'insect larva' is the definition.
(grub is a type of insect larva)

This is the entire clue.

(Other definitions for grub that I've seen before include "Larva; food (sl.)" , "Gentle, food" , "Table needs" , "Nosh - larva" , "Insect larva or slang food (4)" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian, The Times and the Sydney Morning Herald.
