Explanation
The answer to the Old woman close to starving obtained grub is MAGGOT.
The clue "Old woman close to starving obtained grub" leads to the answer "MAGGOT." Here's the breakdown of the clue: "Old woman" suggests using the abbreviation "Ma" (a common shorthand for mother or an old woman in informal usage).
