Female insect without wings is centre of attention (5)
I believe the answer is:
focus
'centre of attention' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
'female insect without wings' is the wordplay.
'female' becomes 'f' (abbreviation).
'insect' becomes 'locust' (locust is a kind of insect).
'without wings' indicates the central letters (the letters on the edges might be called wings).
The centre of 'locust' is 'ocus'.
'f'+'ocus'='FOCUS'
'is' is the link.
(Other definitions for focus that I've seen before include "Spotlight" , "Bull's-eye" , "Main topic of attention" , "Adjust camera lenses - concentrate" , "Concentrate - type of group" .)
