Hi, still have far too many gaps. Help please:50a one cat turns to another, beginning to hunt insect (7,4) l-o-a--/-o--(some kind of moth? Not great in the insect department!)
36d author's renegotiated deadline for short introduction to encyclopaedia (6,5)
12d doctrine is taken on board by that lot (6)
All contributions gratefully accepted. Not the easiest Jumbo (or is it me?!)

leopard moth

50a Leopard Moth
12d Theism

Do you have any letters for 36?

It's come back to me - Daniel Defoe.

Should have said, it's an anagram of 'deadline'+ 'fo(r)' (ie 'for' cut short).

That's excellent Joan well done.

Thanks very much to Francis, Lionheart and Joan. Probably ought to kick myself. Dead easy once someone tells you the answers! Instead of inflicting unnecessary violence on myself, I'm off to bed to rest my weary bones (and brain cells). I'll have another go at filling in the remaining gaps tomorrow. Night all!

Andyc, thanks - I was annoyed with myself as I had to struggle to remember how I'd answered this on Saturday!
