We studied the inhabited environment of aquatic lampylid species, Luciola lateralis, in Andong-si (rice paddy type), Bonghwa-gun (rice paddy type) and Cheongsong-gun (stream type) from 2010 to 2012. Totally, 5 species (Gabbia misella, Semisulcospira libertina, Radix auricularia, Physa acuta, and Hippeutis cantori) in rice paddy habitats, and 4 species (S. libertina, S. forticosta, R. auricularia, and H. cantori) in stream habitats can be edible by larval L. lateralis. We selected 2 species, S. libertina and P. acuta which can be the main food resources for larval L. lateralis in paddy and stream habitats, and individually reared the L. lateralis larvae with each other edible species. After the individual rearing, we analyzed the head sizes of each larval exuviae. There is no significant difference in the 1st instar larval size (P>0.05) between the kind of provided feed (S. libertina and P. acuta). In case of 2nd instar larvae, the head size was bigger when P. acuta was provided as the feed (P<0.05). In case of 3rd and 4th instar larvae, the head size was bigger when S. libertina was provided as the feed (P<0.05). In the analysis of size of L. larteralis adult according to inhabited environment, the adult size was found to be bigger at stream type environment than rice paddy type (P<0.01).
