蒼蠅 (Common housefly: for the character 蒼, the sūtra text writes 螗, which is incorrect, as there is no such character. The lower character has the fanqie 翼 + 繒 [yíng]. The Fangyan says: 'From west of the Pass, it is called yíng.' The Shuowen jiezi says: 'An insect with a large abdomen.' Composed of 虫 and 黽. 黽 has the sound of 猛 [měng]).
