Sharp pegs or otherwise for small jumper (11)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

grasshopper

'small jumper' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'sharp pegs or otherwise' is the wordplay.
'otherwise' indicates anagramming the letters.
'sharp'+'pegs'+'or'='sharppegsor'
'sharppegsor' anagrammed gives 'GRASSHOPPER'.

'for' is the link.

(Other definitions for grasshopper that I've seen before include "Insect (that won't stay still for long?)" , "Chirping insect" , "small jumper" , "Type of cricket" , "six-footer with extra powerful legs" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
