Huge insect traps upper-class relative (5-4)
I believe the answer is:
great-aunt
'relative' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
'huge insect traps upper-class' is the wordplay.
'huge' becomes 'great' (I've seen this before).
'insect' becomes 'ant' (ant is a kind of insect).
'traps' is an insertion indicator.
'upper-class' becomes 'u' (similar in meaning).
'ant' enclosing 'u' is 'aunt'.
'great'+'aunt'='GREAT-AUNT'
(Another definition for great-aunt that I've seen is " Tag nature (anag) - relative".)
I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
