Mk 1:6b ... and eating locusts and honey of-the-field.

The 4th phrase has these 6 narrator words ... kai esthiōn akridas kai meli agrion (and eating locusts and honey of the field).

The 6 words are top down. This additional information tells the reader that John could live in the desert off what the land provided for long periods of time, just like when Elijah journeyed through the desert for 40 days and 40 nights with no provisions (1 Kings 19:8). The diagram shows a locust made from the vesicas of a christ circle with a scaled down head like John's. Six "cells of honey" are exactly tangent to the sign of a "field" and to John's mouth. The 6 words "and eating locusts and honey of the field" are tangent to the honey in a field and to both locusts.
