150. The Chinese reads 今身喜露形坐者死作寒鴞虫。 “Those who in this life enjoy sitting naked will become [a type of insect]” (Taishō 2881, p. 1382b13). It is unclear what type of insect this is. There are some online sources that seem to indicate that this is a bird, not an insect. The word 鴞 usually refers to an owl—this could be a snowy owl, or perhaps an insect on the owl.
