Agricultural sticky traps are used for forecasting flying insects, including fungus gnat adults. Forecasting using sticky trap is an important measure to determine pesticides or environmentally friendly control means. Sticky traps of various colors can be installed easily and quickly. The yellow sticky trap is most effective for forecasting fungus gnat adults. In addition, they are used for control purposes by mass trapping. We tested the optimum installation height of yellow sticky traps to forecast and control the fungus gnat adults effectively in the cultivation of mushroom and horticultural plants. The number of captured fungus gnat adults was highest on the second floor for button mushroom and oyster mushroom, 100 cm above the floor for sawdust shiitake mushroom, 20 cm under the floor for hydroponic strawberry, and 20 cm above the floor for hydroponic tomato. This suggests that sticky trap height should be installed differently depending on the cultivation type or environment for effective forecasting and control of fungus gnat adults.

Because insect visitors was different depending on decomposition stage, dipterans occurred on chicken carcasses depending on postmortem intervals were compared by abandoned sites and decomposition from a serial study on arthropod occurrence from carcasses as forensic indicator. Species occurrence and decomposition of carcasses were different depending on abandoned sites (forest hill, open field, stream, greenhouse and roof), seasons (spring, summer, fall and winter), and situation (burying and non-burying). Development of carcass decomposition was faster at all sites in summer, carcass in greenhouse in winter, and unburied carcasses. Although visiting time of blow flies (Calliphoridae) (Phaenicia sericata, Lucilia illustris, Lucilia sp., Chrysomyia pinguis, and Chrysomyia megacephala) was different depending on abandoned season, their adults were generally collected from carcasses within 2 days. However, there were no visited flies at fresh stage of buried carcasses. The flesh flies (Sarcophagidae) were collected from all sites and seasons, and much faster from unburied carcasses than buried carcasses. Those were collected earlier from carcasses in greenhouse than other sites and occurrence was also shorter. In greenhouse, occurrence time of flesh flies were different depending on season; spring and summer - from fresh to active decay stage, fall - fresh to active decay stage, and winter - advanced decay to remains stage. Calliphora lata, Tricerotopyga calliphoroides, and Aldrichana grahami were dominant species and occurrences were different from other flies. These flies were active mainly from fresh to active stage. Larvae of sarcophagid flies were occurred earlier than those of calliphorid flies on buried carcasses.

최근 서해안을 중심으로 한 한반도 주변해역에서 하계에 해파리류가 급증하면서 연안어장 및 생태계에 심각한 영향을 미치고 있는 실정이다. 우리나라 연안에서 우점하는 물해파리(Moon jellyfish: Aurelia aurita)는 전세계적으로 분포하는 종이며, 인체에 해를 미치는 유해한 종은 아니나 멸치와 같은 소형어류의 어장에 막대한 영향을 미치고 있는 실정이다. 물해파리는 소형일 때는 동물플랑크톤 중 요각류나 소형 갑각류를 먹다가 성장하면서 소형어류를 먹는 것으로 밝혀져있다( Purcell, 1985; sullivan et al., 1994).

An ecological survey was performed in Miryang dam water system during the period of June 5~6, 2000. The fauna collected from 7 sites consisted of total 67 species, 49 genus, 25 families, in 7 orders of aquatic insects. These included 29 species of Ephemeroptera, 22 species of Trichoptera, 7 species of plecoptera, 6 species of Diptera, 1 species of Megaloptera, Odonata and Coleoptera repectively. The relative abundance of Ephemeroptera, Trichoptera, Plecoptera, Diptera, and Coleoptera was 71 %, 11.2%, 5.1%. 11.9% and 0.6% respectively. The primary dominant species of tatal level was Epeorus aesculus, and second dominant species was Epeorus latifolium. The primary dominant species were Heptagenia kihada at site 1, Ecdyonurus dracon at site 2,3,4 and Epeorus aesculus at site 5, Epeorus latifolium at site 6,7. Dominance indices were ranged from 0.30 to 0.55, and species diversity indices from 3.11 to 4.25(mean=3.71). Saprobic system based on species diversity indicated that whole sites were oligosaprobic.

최근 일본은 남서부지방의 과실류 등에 기생하는 것이 확인된 과실파리에 대한 방제법으로 방사선을 이용한 ${\ulcorner}$불임충방사법${\lrcorner}$의 실시를 검토중이라고 한다. 이 방법은 Co-60에 의한 감마선으로 불임화한 숫놈의 성충을 풀어 야생의 암컷과 교미시킴으로서 방제하는 것인데, 우리나라도 소나무의 솔잎혹파리근절이 산림정책의 중요한 과제의 하나인 바, 관심거리가 아닐 수 없다.

In this paper, a total of 11 species of the genus Chirosia are treated. Among them, a species, Chirosia flavipennis (Fallen, 1823), is newly added to Korean fauna. The keys to Korean species, host plants and domestic localities are given. Some illustrations of male genitalic features are included. The cladistic analysis of the Korean species is performed using Musca domestica (Muscidae), Scathophaga stercoraria (Scathophagidae), Delia platura (Anthomyiidae) and Anthomyia angulata (Anthomyiidae) as outgroups.

To investigate the feeding habits of the Kaloula borealis, the stomach contents of 52 out of 56 specimens collected around Daejung-up, Jeju Island in June 2011 were studied. The stomach contents were analyzed with the stomach flushing method. According to the results, the main preys of the Kaloula borealis were Diptera sp., Harpalidae, Formicidae and Drosophilidae. the Kaloula borealis of all sizes fed on small preys, while individuals with large SVL fed on big preys. By feeding on a large amount of food with a small number of activities, the individuals with large SVL is considered to enhance energy efficiency. In many cases, the Kaloula borealis fed on Diptera sp. or Drosophilidae, which are slow but active and capable of flying. As a result, the Kaloula borealis take the sit-and-wait form of preying rather than actively searching for food. The results of this research on feeding habits of the Kaloula borealis will provide valuable resources to protect the endangered Kaloula borealis experiencing a sharp decline in their population and to prepare plans for population preservation strategies for them.
