To investigate the degree of individuals' likability of insects, a survey was conducted with students and adults living in Korea. Overall, for insect-related questions, positive responses were higher than negative ones. Among the positive responses, the personal rearing of insects scored lower than others. The unconditional dislike of insects scored highest in the negative responses. A significant differences and correlations were found between males and females, students and adults, people experienced in insect-related events and those who were not. In particular, previous experience in insect-related events significantly influenced insect likability. Subjects preferred coleopteran and lepidopteran insects to others. However, this preference of insects differed by gender: Male participants preferred coleopteran insects to lepidopteran insects, while female participants preferred lepidopteran insects to coleopteran ones. No significant differences in the preference of insects were found by participants' job, residence, or experience in insect-related events. These findings suggest that gender is the most important factor to consider in selecting insects to be used as therapeutic tools in mental health care.

본 연구에서는 식용곤충의 활용성을 향상시킬 수 있는 잠재적 소비자인 조리 전공자의 식용곤충에 대한 인식 조사를 통해 미래식량이자 대체식량인 식용곤충이 조리 분야에서 손쉽게 활용될 수 있는 기초자료를 제시하였다. 조사대상자의 79.0%가 식용곤충에 대해 들어본 적이 있고, '친구, 동료, 가족 등 주변 지인'을 통해 정보를 얻는 것으로 나타났으며, 76.8%가 식용곤충을 구매해 본 경험이 있으며, 71.9%가 '온라인'에서 구매하였다. 식용곤충을 구매하는 이유는 '호기심'으로 나타났고, '식품이나 음식에 첨가한 형태'로 구매한다가 가장 높게 나타났고, 향후 70.1%가 식용곤충을 이용할 의사가 있으며, 특히 '식용곤충을 이용한 신제품 개발'에 참여할 의사가 가장 높게 나타났다. 따라서 미래 식량 자원으로 대두되는 식용곤충의 활용도와 소비촉진을 향상시키기 위해서 조리전공 대학생의 식용곤충 인식개선을 위한 다각적인 방안과 다양한 메뉴개발을 위한 교육프로그램 개발이 필요하다고 사료된다.

To investigate the degree of individuals' concept and awareness of insects, a survey study was conducted with students and adults living in Korea. The misconception rate for insects was about 50% for both students and adults, but it was lower for students and people who had experienced insect-related events than for adults and those who had not. The highest misconception rate was obtained in answer to a question about the basic structure of an insect. Most people had a high awareness of insects. Significant differences and correlations for the awareness of insects were found between students and adults, men and women, people who had experienced insect-related events and those who had not. The experience of an insect-related event most influenced awareness of insects. These results suggest that increasing people's interest in insects and utilizing insects in treatment situations may be beneficial for the field of mental healthcare.

This review summarizes the current trends related to insect as food resources among consumers, industry, and academia. In Western societies, edible insects have a greater potential as animal feed than as human food because of cultural biases associated with harmful insects, although the abundant characteristics of edible insects should benefit human health. Nevertheless, many countries in Asia, Oceania, Africa, and Latin America utilize insects as a major protein source. Using insects can potentially solve problems related to the conventional food-supply chain, including global water, land, and energy deficits. Academic, industry, and government-led efforts have attempted to reduce negative perceptions of insects through developing palatable processing methods, as well as providing descriptions of health benefits and explaining the necessity of reducing reliance on other food sources. Our overview reveals that entomophagy is experiencing a steady increase worldwide, despite its unfamiliarity to the consumers influenced by Western eating habits.

1. 곡물중의 해충이 발열에 미치는 영향을 조사하기 위하여 Oryzaephilus surinamensis, Triborium confusum, Sitophilus zeamais 및 Sitophilus granarius의 중요해충을 공시로 이들의 각각을 $25^{\circ}C$ 및 $70\%$의 사육실에서 2-7 파운드의 사육병에 사육하면서 온도의 변화를 조사하였다. 3. 그러나 4종의 해충은 공히 발열의 시기는 각 해충의 유충 1-2령기에 해당하였으며 발열량의 정점은 유충 4령기와 일치하였다. 4. 발열량을 비교해 보면 Sitophilus spp.와 같이 유충기를 종자내에서 경과하는 해충이 곡물 표면에 서식하는 Triborium sp. 및 Oryzaephilus sp. 보다 대체적으로 발열량이 많았다. 5. 공시된 해충 중에서 Sitophilus zeamais가 발열량이 제일 높고 다음이 Sitophilus granarius, Tribolium confusum 및 Oryzaephilus surinamensis의 순서였다. 6. 이상의 결과를 보면 해충으로 인한 발열은 해충의 종류, 령기 및 이의 밀도, 곡물의 크기 및 형태, 그리고 환경에 따라 영향을 받는다고 하겠다. 7. 해충으로 인한 발열관계는 많은 수의 곤충을 사용하여 이의 생활사를 시험할 때는 필히 검토되어야 한다고 믿어진다.

A study has been performed on perception of citizens about the medical insects (house flies, mosquitoes, cockroaches) in Chang Won city. A total of 375 subjects (male: 180, female: 195) was surveyed in October 1997. Cockroaches were the most dislike of medical insects to the dwellers. At a residence, cockroaches were the most troubled insects although mosquitoes were the most frequently appeared insects. Also, the most troubled insects were the cockroaches at hospitals, departments, coffee shops, and bars; the mosquitoes at theaters and parks; and the house flies at restaurants in the city. The cockroaches had the highest negative opinion score as a 4.4 point of a 5.0 point. About half of the subjects had extremely suffered from the mosquitoes (52.8%) and cockroaches (51.8%). House residents controlled house flies using fly swatters (50.0%) and insecticide sprayers (38.9%), but apartment residents controlled them using the sprayers (50.8%) and fly swatters (36.5%). The mosquitoes were controlled by using the sprayers (51.6%) and mosquito coils (36.4%). The cockroaches were controlled by using toxic baits (32.9%) and the sprayers (31.5%). Only 10% of the subjects were satisfied control management against the medical insects. The subjects wanted to more effectively control against cockroaches (39.9%) and mosquitoes (37.9%).

The purpose of study was to suggest an investigation of citizen's attitude on harmful insects in house. This study was consisted of four parts, such as basic investigation (housing shape, housing material, the period of house constructed, a cleaning condition), condition of kitchen, condition of living room condition of bathroom. The environmental pollution was increased by the development of industry and urbanization in modern. And also the clean of house has related with air quality such as pollutants and harmful insects etc. Because dwelling shape of urban come to be crowded, shut tightly and high buildings, the air quality of indoor was gradually polluted by several irregular cause. In one of housing pollution, the harmful insects was important any other than indoor air pollution. The problems of kitchen were the odor of food waste, discharge system of sewage and harmful insects. The important issues of living room were mold and construction materials, then important them of bathroom were easing nature and discharge system of sewage. A kind of the harmful insects in house investigated cockroach> mosquito> ant>fly. Finally, it appeared that the control of harmful insects can be applied to the improvement of indoor air pollutant which are difficult to be controlled in house.

Since Kanda's paper on Korean scale insects in 1942, no work on scale insects has been done in Korea. The author has collected 8 species of scale insects in 5 green houses in Seoul and Suwon, of which 4 species, i.e., Chionaspis kentiae, Chrysomphalus aonidum, Planococcus kraunhiae and Aspidiotus hederae are new to Korea. Dominant species were Planococcus citri and Coccus hesperidum and common species to 4 green houses were Planococcus citri, Coccus hesperidum and Saissitia coffeae.
