Grasshoppers and locusts (螽蝗): In ancient script it is written [蠢-春+(罩-卓+次)], both are zhi plus rong fan. The Odes say: 'The wings of the grasshoppers.' The Commentary says: 'Zhongsi (螽斯) is the songsu (蜙蝑); it is also the locust (huang).' It is pronounced hu plus guang fan. Songsu is pronounced xian plus gong fan, the lower character being si plus lü fan.
