蠅蛆(上餘陵反玉篇蟲名也詩云營營青蠅說文云從虫黽聲黽音猛下七予反蠅所乳者也考聲肉中蛆也說文從肉作膽律文作蛆俗字也)。

Fly maggots (蠅蛆: the first character is [pronounced with the] fanqie [initial and final of] 餘 and 陵; the Yupian says it is the name of an insect; the Classic of Poetry says 'Buzzing are the blue flies'; the Shuowen says it takes the 'insect' radical and the phonetic 'mǐn'; 'mǐn' is pronounced 'měng'. The second character is [pronounced with the] fanqie [initial and final of] 七 and 予; they are what flies breed; the Kaosheng says they are maggots in meat; the Shuowen writes it as 膽 with the 'flesh' radical; the Vinaya text writes it as 蛆, which is a vulgar character).
