Wool eater (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

moth

'wool eater' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

This is the entire clue.

(Other definitions for moth that I've seen before include "Night flying insect" , "Small insect that lays its eggs in cloth or fabric" , "Insect drawn to flame" , "Lepidopteran" , "Night-flier" .)

I've seen this clue in the Penny Press and The Star Tribune.
