Surveillance for subtropical moths through the inanimate pathway in the Korean Peninsula was investigated during the past seven years using the light trap in Baengnyeong and Daecheong islands, located near the Northern Limit Line (NLL) in the West Sea. Each record typically includes the taxonomic identify, its country of origin, and information related to inanimate pathway. A total of 2,201 individuals were detected, comprising 25 families, 441 species of Lepidoptera. The most dominant species was Chionarctia nivea (Noctuidae) with 44 individuals, followed by a crambid moth, Ostrinia furnacalis with 37 individuals. Among them, two species of subtropical moths, including Ischyja manlia Cramer and Spirama sp. belonging to the family Noctuidae, and they are mostly distributed in the subtropical area from the southern part of China to Borneo or Java. Interestingly, the other three species, Acronicta pruinosa (Guenée), Marumba spectabilis (Butler), and Spodoptera pecten Guenée were distributed in the southern regions, however, due to the effects of global warming, biotic province is now considered that may be certified moving northwards. Thus, it is very important to our weather conditions and further study on the surveillance of subtropical or/and southern species is needed, considering its possible status as a pest insect.
