蛣蜣(上去吉反下欺良反爾雅云蛣蜣蜣蜋也糞土中蟲也說文二字並從虫吉羌並聲虫音毀)。

Dung beetle (蛣蜣: the upper [character 蛣 is] qu-ji fan [jié]; the lower [character 蜣 is] qi-liang fan [qiāng]. The Erya says: “Jiqiang is the dung beetle; it is an insect found in manure and earth.” The Shuowen [jiezi] says that both characters are formed with 虫 ('insect'), with ji and qiang both phonetic. 虫 is pronounced hui [huǐ]).
