螟𧕅(上覔經反下歷丁反爾雅云螟𧕅桑蟲也郭注云桑蟃也一云戎女說文二字並從虫冥霝皆聲傳作蛉蜻蛉字非也)。

Caterpillar (螟𧕅: the upper character is mì + jīng [míng]; the lower is lì + dīng [líng]; Erya says: "螟𧕅 is a mulberry worm." Guo Pu's commentary says: "The mulberry borer; another name is the róngnǚ." Shuowen: "Both characters are derived from 虫 [insect], with 冥 and 霝 as phonetics." In the transmission, written as 蛉, as in the word dragonfly, which is incorrect).
