Chap backed place for insect (6)
I believe the answer is:
mantis
'insect' is the definition.
(mantis is a kind of insect)
'chap backed place' is the wordplay.
'chap' becomes 'man' (chap can mean a man).
'backed' shows that the letters should be reversed in order.
'place' becomes 'sit' (sitting is a kind of placing).
'sit' written backwards gives 'tis'.
'man'+'tis'='MANTIS'
'for' is the link.
(Other definitions for mantis that I've seen before include "Praying ..., long-bodied, large-eyed insect" , "Insect often seen in praying posture" , "Room equipped for milking cows" , "Predatory insect" , "A praying . . . . . . is a kind of grasshopper" .)
