68.136

蠐螬（上薺賫反下徂遭反說文蠐螬即猶蝎木蠧蟲也二字並從虫齊曹皆聲也）。

Grubs (蠐螬): the first character is [pronounced with the fanqie] 薺 + 賫; the second character is 徂 + 遭. The Shuowen says: 'Grubs (qícáo) are wood-boring grubs, like tree borers. Both characters take the radical 虫 (insect), and 齊 and 曹 are respectively phonetic.'
