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).
