Been away for a few days so only started this one today! It's extra hard and I'm stumped on two:

10a "Minutes before indefinite article in verse form", seems to be METRICAL;
11a "Den and container losing third of caterpillars", seems to be LARVAE;
but I can't see either of the wordplays!

M + anag of 'article'

La(i)r Va(s)e _ Larvae

I know there are some who dispute the second one
Metrical = verse form
Metrical - 'm(inutes)' + anag 'article'
Larvae - lose 3rd letters from 'laIr' (den) & 'vaSe' (container)
