So, it's been a while. I've spared you all an animal round this time out (perhaps the silly Latin names of flies was a little too obscure last time out...), and replaced them with some more familiar rounds! As always no Googling, and you'll find an answer sheet with spoiler tags that you can copy and paste in the comments.
Enjoy!
