Short-lived insect (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

mayfly

'short-lived insect' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

This is all the clue.

(Other definitions for mayfly that I've seen before include "Ephemeral insect" , "Short-lived insect with delicate wings" , "Short-lived spring insect" .)

I've seen this clue in The Independent, the Penny Press, The Guardian and The Times.
