Nimba insect (The first character [rèn, 紝] has the fanqie nü + lin; it is Sanskrit. Nimba is the name of a tree whose leaves are bitter and can be boiled into a drink to treat headaches, like the bitter chinaberry tree here. The insect finds it sweet and is named after it; liàn [chinaberry] has the fanqie lian + jian).
