Note that it is not a commonly-observed trait for amphibians to self-fellate, even among the males, not for lack of ability but possibly because no individual has yet thought of doing so. Unlike human beings, the animals lack much cerebral frontal lobe matter, although to their credit frogs and toads do copulate in clusterfucks frequently. Frogs and toads hibernate by burrowing into the mud, and then no animals can see them. Glyph perhaps contains a smidge of sage sarcastic humor. Frogs and toads are notable for large mouths, gulping without chewing, long and sticky tongues, bodies covered with loose skin that resembles a scrotum, and so on.
「Insect never found, see-through」as:「Ceratopogonidae, or biting midges (including what are called, in the United States and Canada, no-see-ums, midgies [sic], sand flies, punkies, and others), are a family of small flies (1–4 mm long) in the order Diptera. They are closely related to the Chironomidae, Simuliidae (or black flies), and Thaumaleidae. They are found in almost any aquatic or semiaquatic habitat throughout the world. Females of most species are adapted to suck blood from some kind of host animal. …tiny enough to pass through the apertures in typical window screens. Camping tents are often equipped with extra-fine mesh netting, called no-see-um nets, to keep the pests out.」

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.
