<p>My dictionary has an entry for 蟗 (qiū), but no explanation is given. Here is the entry from the Pleco Android app.</p>

<p><a href="https://i.sstatic.net/9Z2lU.jpg" rel="nofollow noreferrer"><img src="https://i.sstatic.net/9Z2lU.jpg" alt="Pleco entry I"></a></p>

<p><a href="https://i.sstatic.net/pZ304.jpg" rel="nofollow noreferrer"><img src="https://i.sstatic.net/pZ304.jpg" alt="Pleco entry II"></a></p>

<p>What does this mean, and why is the dictionary entry missing?</p>

<p>Thanks.</p>

@JackMaddington be nice to yourself and buy a copy of 汉语大词典 in pleco - you'll find it has an explanation for this character.
