Insect caught in two pages, say (4-6)
I believe the answer is:
leaf-cutter
'insect' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
'caught in two pages say' is the wordplay.
'caught' becomes 'c' (cricket abbreviation).
'in' is an insertion indicator.
'two pages' becomes 'leaf' (I've seen this before).
'say' becomes 'utter' (to utter something is to speak or say it).
'leaf'+'utter'='leafutter'
'c' inserted into 'leafutter' is 'LEAF-CUTTER'.
I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
