The effect of five different constant temperatures (18, 21, 24, 27, and 30±1°C) and a photoperiod of 14 : 10 (L : D) h on the reproduction parameters of Spodoptera frugiperda was studied. The longevity of adult female S. frugiperda decreased with increasing temperature (22.4 days at 21°C and 13.9 days at 30°C) but not at 18°C. The pre-oviposition period and oviposition period was the shortest at 30°C compared to the other temperatures. The total fecundity egg count was 887.4, 1,246.4, 1,348.9, 1,154.9, and 1,034.2 at 18, 21, 24, 27 and 30°C, respectively, during its life span. The survival rate of female S. frugiperda decreased rapidly after 13 days at 18°C, after 14 days at 21°C, after 15 days at 27°C, and after 9 days at 24°C, and 30°C. On the third day after the start of oviposition, 50% of the total fecundity was accomplished. In corn fields at less than the 10-leaf stage, the distribution of S. frugiperda egg masses was observed in the middle and lower plant regions, corresponding to 46.8% and 41.4% of the total egg masses, respectively. Egg masses were mostly found on the underside of the leaf blade (abaxial) of corn (66.7%). After releasing S. frugiperda adults on May 12, May 17, May 25, and May 30, the number of eggs per egg mass was 89.9, 88.5, 126.6, and 127.9, respectively. Egg masses of the subsequent generations of S. frugiperda were observed from late June, and the number of eggs per egg mass was 155.8 in late June, 270.7 in early July, and 303.5 in mid-July.

본 연구는 멸종위기종 두점박이사슴벌레의 인공 증식을 위한 산란 특성을 구명하기 위해 수행되었다. 우화 후 3개월이 지난 두점박이사슴 벌레 성충은 암수 비율이 1: 1 일 때 3주 이상의 교미 기간이 필요하다. 실험 처리온도 16, 20, 24, 28, 및 32°C 중에서 산란전기간은 16℃에서 우화 후 109일로 가장 길었으며, 32°C에서 우화 후 평균 59.4일로 가장 짧았다. 산란수는 24°C에서 암컷 한마리당 평균 40.6개로 가장 많았다. 성충의 평균 수명은 16°C에서 수컷 208.8일, 암컷 263.9일로 가장 길었으며, 32°C에서 수컷 96.1일, 암컷 130.3일로 가장 짧았다. 산란 용기 크기에 따른 두점박이사슴벌레의 산란수는 용기가 클수록 많았다. 사육 시 산란목 설치가 산란수와 산란기간에 크게 영향을 미치지 않았다. 본 연구의 결과는 멸종위기종 두점박이사슴벌레의 복원과 대량 증식을 위한 기초 자료로써 활용될 수 있을 것이다.

2017년부터 2019년까지 전북 부안지역에서 채집한 긴날개여치의 발육 및 산란특성을 조사하였다. 긴날개여치(Gampsocleis ussuriensis Adelung)는 저수지 주변 잡초가 우거져 있는 곳에서 주로 발견되었고, 야외에서는 성충이 7월 중순 출현하여 9월 상순까지 나타났다. 알 상태로 겨울을 보내고 이듬해 4월 상순부터 7월 중순까지 약충이 출현하는 것으로 나타났다. 실내에서는 4월 상순 이후 부화한 약충은 5회 탈피를 하고, 성충이 되었다. 긴날개여치 산란기간은 약 58일 정도 소요되었다. 암컷 한 마리당 총평균산란수는 124개였으며, 성충수명은 암컷 95.6일, 수컷 84.8일이었다. 산란매트로는 마사토와 코코피트를 7:3으로 섞은 것이 가장 좋았다. 온도별 발육기간은 24℃에서 64.1일로 가장 길었고, 온도가 높을수록 발육기간이 짧아지고, 생충률은 32℃에서 77.8%로 가장 좋았다. 긴날개여치 약충 사육밀도는 사육밀도가 높을수록 생존율은 떨어지고, 발육속도가 빨라지며, 영기별 탈피속도가 빨라지는 경향이었다.

Recently an outbreaked pest belongs to Hemiptera: Recaniidae, Ricanula sp. is greatly concerned about the outspreading throughout the South of Korea by wide range of host, including Cornelian cherry, Jujube, and peach trees. In Chungbuk province, this pest was first occurred at Jincheon and Okcheon in 2012, Cheongju in 2013 and now found out at Eumseong and Goesan in 2015. Ricanula sp. was oviposited directly into one-year twig, did damages on fruit-bearing formation and finally withered the host. This study was performed to understand the ovipositional characteristics and to develop the standardized forecasting method. Oviposition by Ricanula sp. was abundant in tree than in bush, adult laid eggs on new inner twigs and then covered with wax compound. Total no. of oviposited egg-mass was 10 to 318, and that of on new twig was 5 to 185 per tree, with different to host trees. Thickness of oviposited twigs were done within 2 ~ 5.5 mm and the height was mostly founded with range of 1 to 2 m, founded with highest height over 3 m. Oviposited no. of egg-mass within 30 cm twig was appeared differently from 2 to 7 every host. From based on this investigated result, we provide this for standardized forecasting method. This pest will need to control when egg-mass will occur over 2 at new twig, within 30 cm from the tip, set as total 25 point/ 5 plants (5 point per plant).
