Irritating insect (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

gnat

'irritating insect' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

This is the entire clue.

(Other definitions for gnat that I've seen before include "Small (swarming) fly" , "Small bloodsucker" , "small irritant" , "Small, swarming insect" , "Tiny thing" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
