We were conducted to know the community structure the insect fauna of the Cheonggyecheon, the urban natural restored stream. From 2007 to 2010, we were surveyed 18 times at 4 collecting sites, day and night. A total of 352 species of 99 families belonging to 11 orders were identified from 4,433 individuals collected terrestrial insects. Among them, 113 species, 52 families, 9 orders were collected in night time. Grouping by order, these 3 orders, Hemiptera (70 species in 20 families), Lepidoptera (69 species in 19 families) and Coleoptera (67 species in 17 families) were recorded high species number rather than the other orders. A yearly species number are as follows: 137 species, 57 families belonging to 10 orders were recorded in 2007; 162 species, 56 families belonging to 8 orders were recorded in 2008; 159 species, 61 families belonging to 9 orders were recorded in 2009; 166 species, 71 families belonging to 10 orders were recorded in 2010. The species number of lower stream (170 species, 53 families belonging to 8 orders from St.3 and 208 species, 67 families belonging 10 orders from St.4) was higher than that of upper stream (94 species, 47 families belonging to 8 orders from St.1 and 110 species, 48 families belonging 9 orders from St.2). The results of this study showed that diversity of the insect species in Cheonggyecheon have been keeping stable condition since 2008 after 3 years from the Cheonggyecheon restored. Accordingly, Cheonggyecheon is important habitat for terrestrial insects living in an urban environment which has severe ecological disturbances.
