suggest 22ac is coleopterae which makes this gradine?

[bathtub]

No, it's not - dermestidae is what you're after.

Have completed the grid but still uncertain about 30d: ?eap.
I've put 'heap' as this is defined in Chambers as a company (Shakesp), but still can't fully justify. Any thoughts?

[Flikissimekado]

A possible 'production' of the letters in 'it held heap' [ie: this Shakespearean company] is 'The Adelphi' :)
