Bees and scorpions (蜂蠆: the first character has the fanqie *f- / r-*, also pronounced with the fanqie *b- / h-*, Guo's commentary on the Erya says: "Those that build comb in the ground are ground-bees, and eating their larvae are horse-hornets"; the second character has the fanqie *ch- / j-*, the Qieyun states: "A poisonous insect"; the Xiaojing yuanshenqi says: "Bees and scorpions carry stingers because their venom is in the rear"; the Shuowen states: "Derived from kun 䖵 with feng 夆 as phonetic; kun 䖵 is pronounced kun 昆, and feng 夆 has the sound above"; the Erya writes it with feng 逢 as 蠭, which is equivalent).
