누에용 분말(粉末)을 첨가(添加)하여 만든 인공사료(人工飼料)가 갑오풀잠자리 성충(成蟲)의 산란(産卵)에 미치는 영향(影響)을 조사(調査)한 결과(結果)를 요약(要約)하면 다음과 같다. 1. 야외(野外)에서 채집(採集)한 성충(成蟲)에 누에용 분말(粉末)과 꿀을 급여(給與)한 것은 진딧물을 급여(給與)한 것에 비하여 사육초기(飼育初期)에는 산란력(産卵力)이 다소 높았으나 사육후기(飼育後期)에는 현저히 낮았다. 2. 실내(室內)에서 우화(羽化)한 성충(成蟲)에 탈지(脫脂)하지 않은 누에용 분말(粉末)과 꿀의 혼합물(混合物)을 급여한 것은 산란(産卵)이 없었으나 탈지(脫脂)한 누에용 분말(粉末)과 꿀의 혼합물(混合物)을 급여한 처리구에서는 산란(産卵)이 가능(可能)하였다. 3. 성충(成蟲)의 우화후(羽化後) 산란개시일(産卵開始日) 및 암컷 1마리당(當)의 산란수(産卵數)는 무우테두리진딧물, 누에용 분말(粉末)(탈지(脫脂)한 것)과 사료첨가(飼料添加) 성분의 혼합물, 누에용 분말(粉末)(탈지(脫脂)한 것과 하지 않은것)과 사료첨가(飼料添加) 성분의 혼합물, 탈지(脫脂)한 누에용 분말(粉末)과 꿀의 혼합물(混合物) 등(等) 4종(種)의 식이물(食餌物)에 있어서 각각(各各) 5, 9, 9, 11일(日) 및 166.8, 110.2, 96.1, 66.1개(個)이었다.

This study investigated the oviposition characteristics of Protaetia brevitarsis seulensis after emergence as adults from the larva collected from three regions in Gangwon-do, Chungcheongnam-do, and Jeju-do. The laying egg method was identified with zone breeding, and the average and cumulative number of eggs laid were measured once a week for seven weeks. The average number of eggs laid peaked until 4 weeks, and subsequently decreased. The source areas with respect to average number and cumulative number of eggs laid were in the order of Jeju > Chungnam > Gangwon. In conclusion, this result suggests a method for continuously improving management and economic feasibility of insect farming by securing genetic diversity, and raising the most productive breeds to select individuals form regions associated with high numbers of laid eggs.

The present study was investigated the oviposition characteristics of Protaetia brevitarsis seulensis with a focus on winter larvae to improve the utilization of insect resources. The average oviposition tendency and average cumulative number of eggs laid during a 7-week period were measured in adults emerging from larvae that had hibernated for 4 months in five farmhouses. The study covered five zones: Gimje, Jangsu, Wanju, Iksan and Yeoju. The average oviposition tendency over a 7-week period showed increased egg laying between 2 to 3 weeks and 5 to 6 weeks. Overall, it was found that the average cumulative number of eggs laid during the 7-week period was initially low and increased proportionally with time. Our results suggest that using adults that have emerged from hibernated larvae is effective in increasing the oviposition rate and utilization of the insect.

We investigated the oviposition characteristics of Protaetia brevitarsis seulensis, focusing on zone breeding throughout the year in terms of the development and utilization of insect resources. To select Protaetia brevitarsis seulensis individuals laying a large number of eggs, the number of eggs laid for each individual was measured for each individual after emergence as adults from larvae grown at room temperature in five farmhouses. The five study zone included Gongju (Tancheon), Gyeonggi (Himsen), Chungnam (Gyeryong), Taean (Wonbuk), and Siheung (Baekse). The average oviposition tendency during a 12-week period obtained from the five regions was somewhat different; however, there was no remarkable difference in overall tendency. The maximum oviposition in Protaetia brevitarsisseulensis in the five regions occurred between 6 and 7 weeks. Compared toother regions, the average cumulative number of eggs laid during the 12-week period was higher (40%–60%) in Gongju (Tancheon) and Gyeonggi (Himsen). These results indicate that in two regions, zone breeding is selected as a system for increasing the demand for insects.
