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").
