螢火（穴冥反草虫名也爾雅作熒熒火即炤郭璞曰夜飛腹下有火光炤即照字禮記月令曰大暑之日腐草化為螢韻英作𧓌也）。

Yinghuo [firefly] (fanqie: xue- + -ming; name of a grass-dwelling insect. The Erya writes 熒; yinghuo is the glowing insect. Guo Pu says: 'Flying by night, it has luminous fire under its belly; zhao is the character zhao [illuminate].' The 'Yueling' chapter of the Liji says: 'At the time of Great Heat, rotting grass transforms into fireflies.' The Yunying writes 𧓌).
