Insects (蜫: fanqie 骨魂 [kūn]. Zheng [Xuan]'s commentary on the Liji says: "Kun means bright; luminous creatures are those born with yang and hidden in yin." The Shuowen jiezi states: "蜫 means small insects; composed of 虫 with 昆 phonetic." Correctly written as 䖵, composed of two 虫; 虫 is pronounced 毀 [huǐ]).
