Ginseng damage by the African mole cricket (GTyllotalpa africana Palisot de Beauvois) was investigated in the field and laboratory from 1984 to 1991. Ginseng damage by G. africana occurred mainly in the 2nd year ginseng fields during May and June (spring period), and the damage was not nearly recognized in September and October (fall period) when densities of G. africana adults were higher in the field. In the laboratory and field cage, damage of 2nd year ginseng considerably decreased during fall period, which had no relation to ginseng diameter, and 3rd year ginseng was not damaged at all. Soil hardness seemed to influence on ginseng damage by G. africana adults.

A study on seasonal changes in age structure and fecundity of Gryllotalpa africana Palisot de Beauvois was conducted in Suwon from 1991 through 194. It seemed that most of newly hatched nymphs emerge to adults in September and October, so have a life cycle a year, and some overwinter as nymphs and emerge to adults from August, so have a life cycle tow years. The mean number of eggs per cell was $36.00\pm$2.84 for egg cells laid in the laboratory, and $47.68\pm$4.35 for egg cells collected in the field. Mean and range of the numbers of egg cells produced per female were $1.17\pm$0.19 and 0~3.

Phonotaxis of the African mole cricket, Gryllotalpa africana palisot de Beauvois, was investigated in 1990 and 1992 at the agronomy Experiment Station of Korea Ginseng & Tobacco Research Institute in Hwaseong-gun, Kyonggi-do, Male adults produced calling sounds (calling songs) through the openings of subsurface burrows. Intensities of the sound were 77-80 dB at 15 cm above the openings. When tape recordings of male calling songs were broadcasted outdoors at 105-110 dB by two horn speakers installed at the center of a 1.4 m diameter-funnel, flying adults were attracted for 1.5 hours from about 30 minutes after sunset. Among attracted adults, 14.3-16.9% landed in the funnel, and 65.7-74.7% landed on the ground within 2m form the sound source. Females were 66.7-74.3%, which seemed to be due to the sex ratio of the population in the field. Adults landing in the funnel and at the distance of within 2m from the center of the funnel were tend to be a little more than those attracted to a blacklight trap.

Tremendous natural product extracts were used as a herb medicine remedy or therapy for centuries. Because these extracts have various biological activities, we examined the effects of Gryllotalpa orientalis extract for anti-oxidant and anti-inflammation activity by 1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH), ferric reducing ability of plasma (FRAP), hydroxy radical scarvenging and cyclooxygenase-2 promoter assays. Gryllotalpa orientalis extracts were prepared from solvents such as distilled water (DW), dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO), ethanol and methanol. The results showed that Gryllotalpa orientalis extracts have potent DPPH (methanol extract), FRAP (DW extract) and hydroxy radical scavenging (DW and methanol extracts) activity than any other extracts used. A significant inhibition of cyclooxygenase-2 (Cox-2) promoter activity was detected in the presence of DMSO extract or ethanol extract. Collectively, the present results suggested that Gryllotalpa orientalis extract could be used for anti-oxidant and/or anti-inflammation agent for human or agricultural purposes.

Surveys were conducted in 66 ginseng fields damaged by insect and other an~mal pests from 1984 to 1993. Holohichio rnoroso, Holotrichio dromphalio, Holotrichia titonis Malodera orientaliq Ectinus sericeus, Gyllotalpa ofricana, Teleog~iluse mmo, Ostrinio furnacoii* Agrotis tokionis, Marnestro brassicae, Hydrellia griseolo, unidentified stem maggo$, Pseudococcus comstocki (13 species of insects). Deroceras uarions (slug), Acusta despecta sieboldiona (snail), probably two species of rats. and pheasant species were ascertained to damage ginseng plants M them, Holotrich~a morosa, Holotrichia diomphalia, Gryliotaipo africanq Deroceras uarions, Acusto despech siebaldiano showed higher frequencies. Underground (root) damage occul~ed mainly in spring penod (MayJune) and fall period (September-Odober) in 2-year-old glnseng fields at slopes, and aboveground (leaf and stem) damage occurred mainly in spring period in 3 or more-year-old ginseng iields mulched with rice straws at plains. Three ginseng fields were abolished due to heavy underground damage.

Non-chemical or low-chemical control measures against key insect pests and rats in the ginseng field were studied from 1993 through 1999. Broadcasting chemicals beside the ginseng field in the oviposition period showed the same control effect on the adults of the Korean black chafer, Holotrichia diomphalia, as broadcasting at the ginseng ridge. Ginseng damage by adults of African mole cricket, Gryl1ota1pa africana, were reduced considerably by broadcasting chemicals beside the ginseng field. The larvae of wheat wireworm, Ectinus sericeus, were attracted effectively to potatoes in the ginseng field. Spreads of the mealybug, Pseudococcus comstocki, were very slow in the ginseng field, indicating that it is possible to eradicate the early colonies of Pseudococcus comstocki effectively. The rat repeller, Dekur $500S^{showed}$ a significant control effect of rats in the ginseng field.

phenological study on the oviposition, emergence, and flight activity of the African mole cricket adult has been made to obtain basic information for management of pest populations in ginseng fields. The flight activity, as monitored by the blarklight trap, seemed to be initiated depending on the sunset time and lasted about 2-2.5 hours. The trap data (1984-1988) showed that the adult flight of the species occurred twice a year, from early May to late June(Spring flight) and from late August to mid October(Fall flight) during which usually more crickets were trapped than during the former period. The number of females trapped was greater than that of males regardless to the flight period, i.e., females comprised 72.2%, 83.9%, and 73.3% of the total catches in 1984, 1985, and 1986, respectively. Adults emerged from late August to mid October and laid eggs from mid May to mid July the next year, indicating that the spring and fall flights correspond to the oviposition and emergence period, respectively.

The present study was conducted for two years to develop the indoor breeding system of mole cricket, Gryllotalpa orientalis Burmeister. In 2013, the total mean number of progenies was $430.{\pm}20.0$ ($mean{\pm}SE$); $15.3{\pm}25.8$ of 2nd-3rd instars, $28.8{\pm}24.0$ 3rd-5th and $2.4{\pm}2.7$ 6th-8th. In 2014, the rearing yielded similar result to that of 2013; $43.5{\pm}31.0$ in total with $25.8{\pm}25.6$ of 2nd-3rd instars, $23.6{\pm}21.3$ 3rd-5th and $2.9{\pm}2.3$ 6th-8th. The successful breeding rate using indoor cages was 46.9% in 2013 and 50.0% in 2014. In total 147 individuals were successfully reared in an outdoor rearing cage with 25 females released and 78 individuals in an indoor rearing cage with 100 females and 50 males released. 86.4% and 89.7% of the nymphs reared were collected within 25cm depth of the soil in the outdoor and indoor cage, respectively.

지구상에 서식하고 있는 포유강(Class: Mammalia), 박쥐목(Order: Chiroptera)에 속하는 박쥐류는 1,000여종에 이르는 것으로 알려졌으며, 포유류 중에서 1/4을 차지하고 있으며, 그 2/3는 곤충류를 포식하는 식충성을 지니고 있다. 우리나라에 서식하고 있는 박쥐류는 관박쥐과(Family:Rhinolophidae) 2종, 애기박쥐과(Family: Vespertilionidae) 28종, 큰귀박쥐과(Family: Molossidae) 1종으로서 총 31종이며, 모두 식충성 동물이다. 흡충류라고 하는 것은 편형동물문에 속하는 기생성 동물의 한 군으로서, 항온동물의 장이나 그 밖에 조직에 기생하는 것은 모두 하나 또는 두개 이상의 중간숙주를 필요로 하는 이생 흡충이다. 제1중간숙주는 고둥이지만 제2중간숙주는 여러 가지 변온동물로서 그 대부분은 생활사에 있어서 수서 생활을 하는 시기가 있는 것에 한정되지만 이는 제1중간숙주의 체내에서 형성된 꼬리유충이라고 하는 흡충류의 유생이 보통 물 속을 헤엄쳐 다니다가 제2중간숙주에 침입하게 된다. 박쥐류는 여러 가지 땅강아지나 개똥벌레를 포식하기 때문에 이들 유생이 물 속에서 흡충류의 피낭유충에 감염되었을 경우 박쥐류가 흡충류의 종숙주로서 적합하면 그 체내에서 피낭유충이 장에서 탈랑하여 드디어 성충으로 된다. 만일, 감염된 수서 곤충의 유생이 우화되면 그 유생 시대에 감염된 피낭유충이 그 숙주의 변태와는 상관없이 그 기생이 이어져 적당한 종숙주에게 섭취되기를 기다리게 된다. 우리나라에 있어서 박쥐류에 기생하는 흡충류에 관한 조사 연구는 일찌기 도쿄문리과 대학 동물학 연구실의 Ogata(1938)에 의하여 이루어진 이래 경성제국대학 의학부의 Park(1939a,b)과 후쿠오까대학 의학부의 Kifune et al.(1983, 1997)이 있을 뿐 우리나라 학자에 의한 연구 보고는 접할 수 없는 형편이다. 그럼으로, 우리나라 학자도 이에 관한 더욱 더 깊은 관심을 가져야할 것으로 생각하는 바 이에 지금까지 보고된 자료를 종합, 검토하여 기술하고자 한다.
