蟲豸（上仲中反下馳理反說文云豸獸長脊行日豸象形字郭注爾雅云無足曰豸蟲是也）。

Insects and creepy-crawlies (蟲豸: the first character is fanqie zhong + zhong [chóng]; the second is fanqie chi + li [zhì]. The Shuowen says: "Zhi (豸) refers to beasts with a long spine; it crawls forward; it is a pictographic character." Guo [Pu]'s commentary on the Erya says: "Those without legs are called zhì; insects belong to this").
