Insect to go slowly and then go quickly (9)
I believe the answer is:
dragonfly
'insect' is the definition.
(dragonfly is a type of insect)
'go slowly and then go quickly' is the wordplay.
'go slowly' becomes 'dragon' (I can't explain this - if you can you should believe this answer much more).
'and then' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other) (I've seen this in other clues).
'go quickly' becomes 'fly' (I've seen this in another clue).
'dragon'+'fly'='DRAGONFLY'
'to' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for dragonfly that I've seen before include "creature!" , "it wings along" , "Large winged insect" , "Insect with two pairs of transparent wings" , "Large hovering insect" .)
