Meanings of elements
SPREAD FEET WITH TWO, TESTICLES and MANY INSECTS
…or: DRIPPING within SPREAD FEET with ROWDY BEHAVIOR, JUXTAPOSED ORIFICES and RODS LOOSE in each
Note that「winter swarm of insects」is a bit strange, since during winter most (but not all) insects starve or freeze to death, are hibernating under soil or tree bark or leaf litter or rocks, or have entered a diapause state. Refers to a KATYDID, a BUSH CRICKET (crickets are not grasshoppers, technically), about 8,000 various animal species with spread feet that are quite obvious.「Head crotch, [hind] spread feet with two」and「multiple loose and dripping orifices」for procreating「many insects」…although most species live in the tropics, the top element is the「winter」season which is generally cooler but seems not to be referring to a season in this case: instead, a male animal's「two testes between spread feet with head」also must remain cooler than other body parts in order to produce viable sperm:「katydids or bush-crickets…more than 6,400 species…more closely related to crickets and weta than to grasshoppers. Many tettigoniids exhibit mimicry and camouflage, commonly with shapes and colors similar to leaves [source of the fig leaf covering over the genitals, perhaps?]. …The males provide a nuptial gift for the females in the form of a spermatophylax, a body attached to the males' spermatophore which is consumed by the female [the female swallows the semen]. …The reproductive behavior of bush crickets has been studied in great depth. Studies conducted…found that the Tuberous Bushcricket (Platycleis affinis) has the largest testes in proportion to body mass of any animal recorded. They account for 14% of the insect's body mass and are thought to enable a fast re-mating rate [i.e., a swarm of insects clusterfucking].」

 Element may then refer to these two matings, as「loose and dripping in vulva」of「insect」and then doing that again. Not all female BUSH CRICKETS actually possess a vulva, so the reference may be somewhat metaphorical in this case. Nevertheless, the thought of「leaping with shrill chirps into a bush, or two」may apply instead during a human clusterfuck, naturally.

Modern definitions (that generally disregard history) …excluding politically incorrect concepts and other meanings deemed offensive today; may list only pigeonholed definitions, euphemisms, or meaningless mnemonics)
Chinese: (grasshopper); Gampsocleis mikado
Unihan extended: katydid
EDRDG: grasshopper

Always keep in mind that these glyphs were originally created by groups of clever old men as vulgar riddles and analogies for their own entertainment (see 籒 for that) and represented Chinese society many thousands of years ago, and not as a written or spoken language. If these glyphs had been intended for language use, the sages could not have possibly designed a worse system. Is it truly possible that all these glyphs started out as off-color jokes and puzzles? Yes! It is! Sex had no shame in ancient China. Why would it? And now, there is a cover-up. No one is suggesting these glyphs depict contemporary life in China, Japan, or anywhere else. This site describes glyph meanings, not people. These glyphs however, describe many and various things, including people, long before there were any notions of becoming politically incorrect. The question to be answered is, should these glyphs continue being used, by anyone, anywhere, for expressing language? (More...) Despite how bad the human world is today, do you actually believe that the so-called good old days were any better? Or they could only have been worse?

By the way, with a limited number of the same elements used by the sages again and again to form these glyphs, you should expect to find the same explanations again and again, as tedious as that may become, and as an inherent trait of any dictionary. This site explains the dual meanings of glyphs most often ignored by other sources that provide you with only the sanctioned definition, generally.
