Maybe fly home with group touring China's capital (6)

I believe the answer is:

insect

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'maybe fly' is the definition.
'insect' can be an answer for 'fly' (insect is a type of fly). I'm not sure about the 'maybe' bit.

'home with group touring china's capital' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite understand how this works, but
'home' could be 'in' (to be in is to be (at) home) and 'in' is found within the answer.
'group' could be 'sect' (I've seen this in other clues) and 'sect' is located in the answer.
No letters remain.
This explanation may well be incorrect...

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for insect that I've seen before include "Small invertebrate creature" , "The entomologist studies this" , "Small animal with six legs" , "may be attracted to a website?" , "Perhaps nit" .)
