Author investigated the control measure and the life cycle of the mulberry sucker, Anemoneura mori Schwarz. The results are as follows; 1. It is clear that the life cycle of mulberry sucker is one generation a year, but not obvious about the duration of pupa. 2. Even though various insecticides were used for control, they are not of a practical value during the egg stage. It is, however, believed that the mulberry sucker, when become larvae, can be controlled by spraying about 400 litres per 1 tanbo( DDVP, 1000$\times$). 3. Author recommends the control measures which you may use not only an insecticide, but also cut off branches so as to make leaf get enough sunlight and ventilation.

This study investigated the oviposition characteristics of Protaetia brevitarsis seulensis after emergence as adults from the larva collected from three regions in Gangwon-do, Chungcheongnam-do, and Jeju-do. The laying egg method was identified with zone breeding, and the average and cumulative number of eggs laid were measured once a week for seven weeks. The average number of eggs laid peaked until 4 weeks, and subsequently decreased. The source areas with respect to average number and cumulative number of eggs laid were in the order of Jeju > Chungnam > Gangwon. In conclusion, this result suggests a method for continuously improving management and economic feasibility of insect farming by securing genetic diversity, and raising the most productive breeds to select individuals form regions associated with high numbers of laid eggs.

The objective of the study was to elucidate early life history of Rhinogobius brunneus, based on laboratory observations and field works, along with its courtship and spawning behaviors. The male and female fish matured were sampled for the lab experiments from Gap-Stream, which is one of the tributaries of Geum-River, Korea. The spawning behaviors and courtship of matured adults had a typical pattern; matured males of Rhinogobius brunneus built up spawning nests and had their own territory before the spawning, and the behavior then triggered the egg spawning of female with active courtship. The females attached elliptic egg mass as a single layer, on the stones below the spawning nest. After the spawning, the egg mass was guarded by males only until the hatching. The size of egg fertilized, measured by microscope was about 1.5${\pm}$0.1mm in length and 0.7${\pm}$0.1 mm in the egg's width. According to the lab experiments conducted under four temperature regime, the lapsed time for the hatching was shortened as temperatures increased in the treatments. On the contrary to the hatching time, the average length of newly hatched larvae showed a reverse relation with water temperature. The larvae, considered a final stage of the early life history was about 3.6 mm in total length for water temperature of $18^{\circ}C$, whereas they were between 3.1 mm and 3.2 mm for over $25^{\circ}C$. This indicates that higher water temperature may decrease the growth rate in the early life history. These results may provide valuable information for the population conservation and ecosystem protection under accelerated water pollution and habitat degradations in Korea.

From November 1992 to January 1993, the rockfish, Sebastes inermis was reared in the laboratory, and observed the developmental stage of the eggs and larvae squeezed from the parent fish. On December 4 1992, developing eggs at morula stage were obtained from female parent fishes($17.4{\sim}20.3mm$ in total lenght(TL)). The diameter of eggs ranged from 1.20 to 1.35mm(n=50), and oil globules in white color were found in the eggs. Hatching began about 55 hours after morula stage at the water temperature of $9.2{\sim}12.3^{\circ}C$. The newly hatched larvae measured from 2.90 to 3.35mm in TL with $8+12{\sim}13=20{\sim}21$ myomeres. Total lengths of the larvae will be from 5.75 to 6.15mm in 27 and 30 days after the hatching, respectively. Myomere number was $8+17{\sim}18=26$.

The developmental times of mealworm beetle larvae, Tenebrio molitor were studied at six temperatures ranging from 15 to $30^{\circ}C$ with 60~70% RH, and a photoperiod of 14L:10D. Mortality of larval period was very low at 17 and $20^{\circ}C$ but did not die over $22^{\circ}C$. Developmental time of larva was decreased with increasing temperature. The total developmental time of T. molitor larvae was longest at $17^{\circ}C$ (244.3 days) and shortest at $30^{\circ}C$ (110.8 days). Egg and larvae were not developed at $15^{\circ}C$. The lower developmental threshold and effective accumulative temperatures for the total larval stages were $6.0^{\circ}C$ and 2564.1 degree-days, respectively. The relationship between developmental rate and temperature was fitted by a linear model and nonlinear model of Logan-6($r^2$=0.95). The distribution of completion of each development stage was well described by the 2-parameter Weibull function ($r^2$=0.8502~0.9390).
