A fly found on, or associated with, muck. SOP Zumbacool (talk) 21:25, 7 July 2022 (UTC)
- This may be more of an RFV question, if any fly found on/in muck is a muck fly then delete, however if it is a dung beetle situation where a certain subset of flies are "muck flies" then it may be a keeper. - TheDaveRoss 15:50, 8 July 2022 (UTC)
- The uses of “the muck-fly” here and here suggest it is a type of fly, identified in fact in the second reference with flies from the genus Calliphora. That means the definition is off. --Lambiam 14:45, 9 July 2022 (UTC)
- Obviously keep. This was a specific term once common in scientific literature and fiction, now no longer used. Ƿidsiþ 10:13, 29 July 2022 (UTC)
