24,1 Loopy strip of land that protects some larvae (6,4)

COCOON SILK fits the definition, but I don't see anything else - is it right?

No, the first word is a bird

I'm stuck on that one too. I haven't written it in yet but see it as COCOON or CUCKOO plus BELT perhaps for strip of land.

Like pulling teeth today.

No - first word is type of bird - word also used to describe someone who is "loopy".

Ah....got it!

Not belt, either

Thanks scorpiojo - see it now.

rh142 - did you sort out 9,18?

I assume it's XI (team) in PIE (mixed state) plus [T]HAT

Thanks to help, I have now finished, though I didn't enjoy it.

I'm not sending it in, but just for my satisfaction, could someone confirm (or otherwise) 29d Seen emerging from a jumbo? (4)
T?S?

I've put TUSK, but it doesn't seem to be cryptic.

That's what I thought too.
