Have followed other Q and A's for this puzzle but am in the dark over 25d. Very old women being singular (8). I have *O*ESS*S and am reasonably confident on the letters so far. The only word I can...

Stuck on 18d. Have got *es*a. Hopefully correct so far. Am torn between VESTA and VESPA, leaning towards the latter but cannot see the wordplay other than an insect connection. Comments appreciated....
