To compare the diversity and abundance of moth fauna between the deciduous and coniferous forest, the light traps have been managed at six survey sites in Hongneung, Korea Forest Research Institute (KFRI) from May to October 2008. Diversity and equitability were estimated by Simpson's index. A total of 1,181 individuals were collected, comprising 678 individuals (18 families, 145 species) and 503 individuals (17 families, 121 species) in the deciduous forest and the coniferous forest, respectively. Noctuidae was the most dominant family, which consist of 42 species, 248 individuals in the deciduous forest and 38 species, 149 individuals in the coniferous forest. The most dominant species was Hydrillodes morosa (Noctuidae) with 95 individuals (deciduous forest), followed by a pyralid moth, Orthopygia glaucinalis and a tortricid moth, Gnorismoneura hoshinoi with 36 individuals (coniferous forest). Interestingly, Arctiidae and Drepanidae, which were collected only in the deciduous and Lecithoceridae were only in the coniferous forest.
