Have only one q.16a:"The biter bit" T?C? See no real reason for any of the possibilities.Found puzzle otherwise boringly easy.

TICK ?

Just a guess, but it seems to fit.

14d would suggest mite is not right

I agree it must be tick. A tick (insect) is a biter and a tick is a Bit...as in "be with you in a tick (or bit)"

I have OFF KEY for 11a. If this is correct, can anyone explain why, please.

OFF = cricket side (as opposed to LEG)
KEY = opener
OFF KEY = Harsh, as in music
