White grubs are now found everywhere. The so-called FEI in Er Ya refers to a mealworm. Guo Pu said, "It is the one in the dung." The termites in rotten wood are similar in shape, but are whiter than those in dung. They are what Er Ya calls “scorpions”; also called “scorpions”; and also called “mulberry insects”. Although Guo Yun is generally called Scorpion among trees, the difference lies in this. Su Gong believed that the wood should be used as medicine, which contradicts what is said in the Ben Jing that it grows in feces and grass. It has a name but has not been used yet. It contains a strip about mulberry worms, which is the same as the main treatment.
