This study was conducted to investigate the community structure of arthropods, including various insect pests and their natural enemies, in walnut orchards. Furthermore, we tried to compare the species richness and community structure of arthropods by three different sampling methods, including beating, funnel trap, and pitfall trap. Arthropods were surveyed in three walnut orchards located at Gimcheon, Buyeo, and Hwaseong in South Korea from May to September, 2016. A total of 408 arthropod species were identified from 4,372 individuals, and 63 species were collected in all study sites. The species richness was the highest in funnel trap, while the abundance was the highest in pitfall trap. The species composition of the insects collected by the beating method was more similar to that of the funnel trap than the pitfall trap. Although the distributions of the economically important pests were different according to the study sites, six species, including Dichocrocis punctiferalis, Pseudaulacaspis pentagona, Gastrolina depressa, Lycorma delicatula, Metcalfa pruinosa, and Pochazia shantungensis, are the potentially important pests in walnut orchards. We also found a variety of predators and parasitoids, which will be important for walnut pest management.

Differences in the number of Platypus koryoensis (Murayama) (Coleoptera: Platypodidae) trapped in different trap types, colors and positions on the trunk were evaluated to develop a monitoring trap for Platypus koryoensis, a known vector of Korean oak wilt disease. The experiments were conducted in an oak forest located in Gwangtan-myeon, Paju-si, Gyeonggi-do, Korea using two types of trap: sticky trap and multi-funnel trap. Trapping efficiency of the two trap types was not significantly different. Trapping efficiency of the sticky trap was not affected by four trap colors: yellow, black, white and transparent. The number of beetle caught was higher in the traps facing the upper slope than the lower slope regardress of trap type. Our results showed that both traps type are useful for monitoring Platypus koryoensis.

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.

Recently, Ussur brown katydid outbreaks caused a serious pest problem in areas of Yeongdong, Chungbuk. This study was performed to control the pest with environment-friendly method. Trap was made of PET plastic bottles that easily found near farmhouse. Attractant materials such as oak (Quercus acutissima) leaf, fruits (peach, apple, grapefruit and pear) sarcocarp or its juices, rice wine (makgeolli) and fish meal were directly applied into the manufactured trap and investigated for the attraction efficacy compared with the funnel trap. During one day, manufactured trap (fish trap) attracted the Ussur brown katydid more than funnel trap. The efficacy of attractant materials were as follows: peach juice (32.7 adults) > rice wine+fish meal (31.3 adults) > rice wine (27.0 adults) > pear juice (19.0 adults) > apple juice (17.2 adults) > fish meal (16.7 adults) > grapefruit juice (14.4 adults) > oak leaf (2.3 adults). The attractive efficacy of fruit juices to ussur brown katydid was more than fruit carcocarps, and the trap hangover 1m in height more than that on ground. The composition of rice wine and fish meal prolonged its efficacy when treated with disinfectant.

The need for an efficient sampling technique to collect aquatic organisms has risen with the increase of interest in rice paddy fields, which have been recognized as important ecosystems supporting biodiversity. In the present study, a submerged funnel trap used with the assistance of attracting agents (fish meal and chemical light) was designed as an easy, objective and quantitative tool for collecting aquatic organisms in the rice paddy fields. The preference for collecting aquatic organisms as a means for attracting agents was analyzed using a generalized linear mixed model. Also, based on the data of previous research, we compared the community composition of the aquatic macroinvertebrates, which were collected using the quadrat method, and newly designed submerged funnel traps, by analyzing non-metric multidimensional scaling. The results showed that the catching efficiency of 18 of the total 65 taxa was affected by the attracting agents. 12 taxa including Pomacea canaliculata, Hippeutis cantori, Austropeplea ollula, Erpobdella lineata, Ostracoda spp. Branchinella kugenumaensis, Hydaticus grammicus, Rhantus pulverosus, Chironomidae spp., Rana nigromaculata, Cobitidae spp. etc., favored fish meal and 6 taxa including Ischnura asiatica, Coenagrionidae spp. Sternolophus rufipes etc., were attracted by chemical light. The submerged funnel trap used as a measurement tool for biodiversity was less applicable than the quadrat method; however, it was more effective for the selective collection of specific taxa. We expect that this newly designed trap can be a simple and quantitative method for collecting aquatic organisms, and could be used for long term and extensive surveys in rice paddy fields in the future.

We report here an improved collecting method of the infective juveniles multiplied in the host insect with the entomopathogenic nematodes, Steinernema carpocapsae Weiser. The specific characteristics of this method involved the opening of the host insect hemocoel after the population of their infective juveniles reached at the maximum (6 days at 25$\^{C}$ after nematode treatment to nonimmunized host insects) to facilitate the escape of the multiplied nematodes. It also used 'Baermann funnel'method to select the infective juveniles effectively. This improved 'Baermann funnel'method was compared with a traditional collecting method, which was characterized with a combination of untreated host insects and 'White trap'collecting method, in both yield and pathogenicity of the collected infective juveniles to the fifth instar larvae of beet armyworm, Spodoptera exigua (H bner). More than 95% of the nematode populations collected by the two methods represented the morphological infective juveniles. To prove the nematodes to be infective juveniles functionally, pathogenicity and infective activity were compared in the nematodes collected by the two methods. They were not different in both pathogenicities and infective activities which were measured by the numbers of nematodes penetrated into the hemocoel of the insect hosts after exposure for the specific times to the same dote of infective juveniles. Significant difference between two collecting methods was found in the total yields of the infective juveniles per host insect About 50,000 infective juveniles per infected fifth instar larva of S. exigua after 6 day incubation at 25$\^{C}$ were collected only for 2 days by the improved 'Baermann funnel'method, while about 20,000 infective juveniles per host were collected for 10 days by the classical 'White trap'method.

Extensive monitoring of aquatic organisms in rice paddy fields has been difficult due to laborious sampling methods such as quadrat sampling using a hand net. This study aimed to analyze temporal and regional community compositions of aquatic organisms collected with a less time-consuming sampling method. This method involved using submerged funnel traps in rice paddy fields. Submerged funnel traps were useful for capturing taxa containing species that are indicative of environmental changes and highly mobile species that feed on waterbirds. Fifteen taxa including Ampullariidae, Cobitidae, Chironomidae, Hydrophilidae and Dytiscidae determined the community compositions. Among the major taxa, only Chironomidae resistant to environmental disturbances represented temporal variations of aquatic organism communities in rice paddy fields. Ampullariidae, Dytiscidae, and Hydrophilidae, which are prone to be affected by anthropogenic activities, differed among regions.
