dung fly
Refers to any fly of the family Scathophagidae, often found around dung or decaying matter. Typically written in kana.
I often see dung flies at the ranch.
フンバエの幼虫は糞の中で育つ。
Dung fly larvae grow in dung.
Kanji spelling using 糞 (dung) and 蝿 (fly); rarely used in practice.
Alternate kanji spelling with 蠅 (fly); also rare.
Formed from 糞 “dung” and 蝿 “fly,” with sequential voicing changing はえ to ばえ.
