枸杞上虫：味咸，性温，无毒。主治补益阳气之道，使人面色润泽并能生育。在结茧化为蛹时采集，晒干后炙烤至黄色，与干地黄混合制成丸剂服用，能大补阳气，增益精气。这种虫像蚕一样，以枸杞叶为食。
两头蛇：味甘，性平，有小毒。主治飞尸（一种急症）、蛔虫、口中甜味、风疹瘙痒、头疮及牙齿疾病，可去除疥癣，涂抹于山蜍蚊子叮咬入肉初起的疮口，发作后即可痊愈。产于临海、会稽，大的长达一尺，其须可做簪子。虞啸父回答晋帝说：“当时天气尚暖，来不及进贡，就是会稽出产的。”装在密封容器中并与热饭一起放置，会生成毒气，致人死亡。崔豹说：辽海地区有一种飞虫，像蜻蜓，名叫绀螉，七月成群飞翔遮蔽天空，夷人食用它，说是由虾变化而成的。又《杜台卿·淮赋》说：蝗虫化为野鸡，入水变为蜃。
蛴螬：味辛，性平，有小毒。主治血瘀劳积、月经闭止不调、腰脊痛，以及心腹间的痰饮。生于桃木中的，能杀鬼，去除邪气；生于桂木中的，味道辛辣鲜美可食用，能去除冷气。形状像蛴螬，节长脚短，生于腐木中，穿木如锥刀，到春天羽化，又名蝎。《尔雅》说：蝎，即结蠹。注解说：是蛀木的虫子。苏恭考证说：蛴螬的说法是错误的。
竹蜂：味甘，性寒。主治牙齿疼痛、口中疮疡，含在口中即可。蜂如小指大小，通体正黑色。咬竹子做巢，蜜像稠糖，酸甜可口好吃。《方言》说：留师，就是竹蜂。
两头蛇（再次提及）：头部有大毒，尾部无毒，中间有界限，从界限处切断。用头部配合毒药，对人来说足以致死。岭南人称为蓝药，解毒的方法，是将尾部做成肉脯，给人吃下就能痊愈。蓝蛇像蝮蛇，有界限，产于苍梧各县。头有毒而尾无毒。
见之令人不吉利。大如手指，一头没有眼睛没有嘴巴，两个头都能行走。产出会稽，人说这是越王的弩弦。从前孙叔敖埋掉了它，担心后人见到它，必将导致死亡。人见到蛇长出脚，也认为是不吉利的。蛇用桑木柴烧它，脚就会出来显现，这没有什么可奇怪的。
Insect on Goji Berry: Salty in flavor, warm in nature, non-toxic. Primarily benefits the pathway of Yang, enhancing luster and fertility. Harvested when it forms a cocoon and becomes a pupa, dried in the sun, roasted until yellow, and mixed with dried Rehmanniae Radix (Shu Di Huang) to form pills for ingestion; greatly boosts Yang and enriches essence. This insect resembles a silkworm and feeds on goji berry leaves.
Two-headed Snake: Sweet in flavor, neutral in nature, slightly toxic. Primarily treats "Fei Shi" (flying corpse disease, an acute condition), roundworms, sweet taste in the mouth, wind-induced pruritus, head sores, dental diseases, removes tinea and scabies, and is applied to sores caused by mountain toad or mosquito bites penetrating the skin initially; heals upon manifestation. Found in Linhai and Kuaiji; large specimens reach one chi in length, and their bristles can be used as hairpins. Yu Xiaofu replied to Emperor Jin: "The weather was still warm, so it was not ready for tribute; these are from Kuaiji." Stored in sealed containers with hot rice, it generates toxic fumes that can cause death. Cui Bao stated: In the Liaohai region, there is a flying insect resembling a dragonfly, named Gan Weng (Gan Ong). In July, they fly in swarms darkening the sky. The Yi people eat them, claiming they transform from shrimp. Additionally, Du Taiqing's "Huai Fu" states: Locusts transform into pheasants, and enter water to become clams/shells.
Grub (Qicao): Pungent in flavor, neutral in nature, slightly toxic. Primarily treats blood stasis and labor accumulation, amenorrhea with irregular menstruation, lower back and spine pain, and phlegm-rheum in the heart and abdomen. Those found in peach wood kill ghosts and dispel evil qi; those found in cinnamon wood are pungent, sweet, edible, and dispel cold qi. Resembles a grub, with long segments and short legs, living in rotting wood, boring through wood like an awl or knife, transforming into wings in spring. Also known as Xie. The "Erya" states: Xie refers to Jie Du (wood-boring larvae). The commentary notes: It is a wood-boring insect. Su Gong verified: The term Qicao is a deep error/misnomer.
Bamboo Bee: Sweet in flavor, cold in nature. Primarily treats toothache and oral ulcers; holding it in the mouth alleviates symptoms. The bee is about the size of a little finger, entirely black. It nests by gnawing bamboo. Its honey is thick like syrup, sweet and sour, and delicious. The "Fang Yan" states: Liu Shi is the Bamboo Bee.
Two-headed Snake (Reiteration): The head is highly toxic, the tail is benign. There is a constriction in the middle; cut at this point. Using the head combined with other drugs makes the medicine lethal to humans. People in Lingnan call it "Lan Yao" (Blue Medicine). The antidote involves making the tail into jerky and feeding it to the victim, which cures the poisoning. The Lan Snake resembles the Viper, has a constriction, and is found in various counties of Cangwu. The head is toxic, the tail is benign.
Seeing it brings bad luck. It is as thick as a finger, with one end lacking eyes and mouth, yet both heads can move. Found in Kuaiji; people say it is the bowstring of King Yue. In ancient times, Sun Shu'ao buried it, fearing that if others saw it, it would surely lead to death. Seeing a snake with legs is also considered inauspicious. Burning a snake with mulberry fire causes its legs to appear; there is nothing strange about this.
