On page 127 of the dictionary, it writes about 蝴蝶
hu2die2 which means butterfly and translate it as bhuê2 iah8 but does not give the iah8's character. However, bhuê2 iah8 is written as 美翼 if you were to visit this page which discusses the local dialect of Chaoshan 潮汕 - our Teochew area in East Guangdong province.
bhuê2 iah8 美翼
So, 蝴蝶 hu2die2 - butterfly - is bhuê2 iah8 美翼 in Teochew.
