蟲螟(上逐融反說文云有足謂之蟲無足曰豸從三虫經作虫非也下覔瓶反毛詩傳曰食苗心曰螟郭璞云螟𧖜有子即桑蟲也蜾蠃附之變為細𦝫蜂也)。

Caterpillars and stem-borers (蟲螟: the first character has the fanqie [ɖ]iuk + [j]uŋ. The Shuowen jiezi says: "Those with feet are called chóng 蟲; those without feet are called zhì 豸. Categorized under three 虫." The sūtra writes it as single 虫, which is incorrect. The second character has the fanqie [m]ek + [b]eŋ. The Mao Commentary to the Shijing says: "Those that eat the hearts of sprouts are called míng 螟." Guo Pu says: "The stem-borer larva has young, which are mulberry caterpillars; the potter wasp adopts them and transforms them into slender-waisted wasps").
