| 释义 | > as lemmasWelshman's button Welshman's button n. Angling either of two insects, the garden chafer, Phyllopertha horticola (family Scarabaeidae), and (in later use) a brown caddis fly, Sericostoma personatum (family Sericostomatidae); (also) an artificial fly imitating either of these. [The transfer of the name to the caddis fly, perhaps by misidentification of the model for the artificial fly, is attributed to F. M.
