The rearing of black soldier flies in Korea is affected by seasonal factors such as temperature and sun light; for this reason, it requires a great deal of effort to rear and maintain black soldier flies during the winter. In this study, we investigated how starvation affects larval development. After hatching the larvae, they were fed for 5 or 10 d and then starved for a certain period to see how they recovered. The length and width of larvae were estimated to be 18.18 to 21.96 mm, 5.19 to 6.04 mm, respectively. Larvae survivorship to the pupal stage was significantly different between groups and periods of starvation. The groups of fed for 5 d then starved showed a high survival rate until 20 d starvation and then the survival of larvae rapidly decreased. The survival rate of the larvae was abruptly decreased for 20 d starvation in the groups of fed for 10 d and starved, and then gradually decreased until 60 d starvation thereafter. Our research attempted to influence larvae development through starvation and provides basic information on how to culture the black soldier fly effectively and economically throughout the year.

Nymph of the emma field cricket, Teleogryllus emma, were reared on several types of artificial diets. The development period of nymphs were 55.4 days when only a single food, wheat bran, was provided, and it did not show a significant difference compared to the rearing results of the Danong diet and mixed diet. The supplying period of fish meal as the animal feed, the high emergence rates were obtained at 3rd instar with 90% and 4th instar with 100%. For the added amount test, when more than 40% of the diet was added, it confirmed that the insect weight increased. The characteristics of development according to each added amount of the vegetable food (dry bean-curd residue and corn powder) were investigated to minimize the dangers of the degeneration of diet when rearing with a single feed during the $1st{\sim}3rd$ instar period. First, as the added amount of bean-curd residue increased, nymphal development period became longer and the emergence rate became low. With corn powder as the single diet, all died before becoming adult. However, when corn powder was added up to 30%, no difference existed in the breeding results.

곤충병원선충(Steinernema carpocapsae Weiser) 기주 증식을 위해 실내 대량사육이 용이한 파밤나방(spodoptera exigua (Hubner))과 담배거세미나방(Sp. litura (Fabricius))유충에서 병원성과 증식선충수를 조사하였다. 반수치사 병원선충수는 두 기주간 또는 발육시기에 따라 차이가 없었으나 기주내에 증식된 선충수는 기주의 크기에 비례하였다. 온도에 따른 선충의 증식은 온도가 증가함에 따라 기주내 최대 감염태 선충수(담배거세미나방 5령충에서 약 500,000마리, 파밤나방 5령충에서 약 100,000 마리)를 보이는 소요기간이 $25^{\circ}C$에는 접종 후 6일이나 $20^{\circ}C$에서는 12일로 길어졌다.

곤충은 식량 기능성 소재 농업자재 등 미래의 농업자원으로 유망하며, 지속적인 시장성장이 예상되고 있다. 또한 갈색거저리 유충, 쌍별귀뚜라미, 흰점박이꽃무지 및 장수풍뎅이의 유충이 일반식품원료로 인정됨에 따라 식용곤충에 대한 관심이 높아지고, 이에 대량생산을 위한 사육기술의 표준화 및 먹이원 개발에 관한 연구가 요구되고 있다. 본 연구는 흰점박이꽃무지와 장수풍뎅이 유충의 발육촉진 효과를 확인하기 위해 애견사료 및 양돈사료와 같은 시판 중인 가축사료와 밀기울을 첨가한 발효톱밥을 이용하였다. 밀기울 첨가 처리구는 흰점박이꽃무지와 장수풍뎅이의 생존율과 증체율이 현저히 낮은 수준으로 곤충 먹이원의 소재로 사용되기에 부적합한 발육양상을 보였다. 애견사료 및 양돈사료를 첨가한 먹이원을 급여하였을 때 흰점박이꽃무지와 장수풍뎅이 모두에서 유충의 생존율 및 증체율이 높고 유충기간이 단축되는 것으로 나타났다. 특히, 애견사료 5% 첨가 조건에서 흰점박이꽃무지 유충의 증체율은 초기 무게와 대비하여 179.2%로 가장 높았고, 장수풍뎅이 유충의 증체율은 애견사료 2.5% 첨가 조건에서 299.9%로 가장 높았다. 또한, 애견사료 2.5% 첨가 사료를 급여했을 때 흰점박이꽃무지와 장수풍뎅이의 유충기간은 약 67일과 116일로 기본 발효톱밥을 급여한 대조구에 비해 40일 이상 짧게 조사되었다. 따라서 가축사료는 부식성 식용곤충에 우수한 발육 효과를 나타내는 곤충 먹이원의 소재로서 활용될 수 있을 것으로 기대된다.

장수풍뎅이 유충은 쌍별귀뚜라미와 갈색거저리 및 흰점박이꽃무지 유충과 함께 국내 식품의약품안전처의 식품공전에 일반식품원료로 등록되었다. 이에 곤충에 대한 종합적인 관리 시스템 개발이 요구되고, 이와 함께 양질의 곤충을 대량생산하기 위한 위생적이고 안전한 식용곤충 전용 먹이원 개발 등과 관련된 연구를 지속적으로 수행할 필요가 있다. 식품가공 부산물은 단백질, 지질, 무기질 및 기타 여러 가지 생리활성 물질을 함유하고 있어 가축 등 동물 사료의 대체 에너지원으로 활용되고 있다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 감귤박, 비지박, 대두박, 맥주박 등 4종의 식품가공 부산물을 첨가한 먹이원 급여에 따른 장수풍뎅이 유충에 미치는 효과를 비교하였다. 장수풍뎅이 3령 유충에 10% 맥주박을 첨가한 먹이원을 급여했을 때 가장 높은 생존율을 보였고, 유충의 무게 또한 대조구 대비 약 26% 증가된 것으로 나타났다. 유충기간에 있어서도 10% 맥주박을 첨가했을 때 약 120일로 대조구보다 28일 이상 단축되는 것을 확인하였다. 뿐만 아니라 10% 맥주박 첨가 실험구의 용무게와 용화율이 가장 높게 나타나는 것으로 보아 맥주박이 장수풍뎅이 사육용 사료 소재로서 충분히 활용될 가치가 있을 것으로 생각된다. 더불어 맥주박은 시중에서 쉽고 저렴하게 구매할 수 있어 곤충사육 농가에서 손쉽게 활용할 수 있으며, 식품가공 부산물을 친환경적으로 처리하고 식용곤충을 안전하고 경제적으로 사육하는 데 도움이 될 것으로 기대된다.

Three years($2004{\sim}2007$) survey was conducted on the incidence of silkworm diseases namely, Grasserie, Flacherie, Muscardine and Uzi fly, a silkworm pest with 150 sericulture farmers in the districts of Chittoor and Anantapur in Andhra Pradesh. The data revealed that grasserie and flacherie incidence were maximum in summer season and minimum in winter season whereas muscardine was observed high in winter season in both the areas and rarely in rainy season in Chittoor and Anantapur districts. An improvement of 11.16 and 7.6 kg cocoons/100 dfls were recorded in the batches of PM xCSR2 Diseases free layings(Dfls) reared in rearing houses disinfected with 2% bleaching powder and Ankush, a plant based bed disinfectant applied as per schedule, respectively. The Uzi fly incidence was suppressed by 61.02% in batches where the integrated package was adopted for control of Uzi fly infestation.

Mulberry plantations are prone to several kinds of insect pests including the thrips, Pesudodendrothrips mori. The thrips infestation affects the qualitative and quantitative characters of mulberry leaf, which in turn affects the silkworm cocoon crop. In the present study, four commercial insecticides viz., Rogor, Quinalphos, Confidor and Methyl parathion were tested for their efficacy in the control of P. mori thrips. These insecticides were observed to kill 68-80％ within 24 hrs in vivo and 100％ after 12 hrs post-treatment in vitro. Confidor (0.05％) and Quinalphos (0.2％) were most effective in controlling the thrips incidence. The insecticide-sprayed mulberry leaves did not show any adverse effect on the rearing of silkworms.

The tropical tasar silkworms, Antheraea mylitta (D) produce famous silk 'Kosa' in central part of India. Due to outdoor rearing it became susceptible to viral infection including cytoplasmic polyhedrosis virus (CPV). The common mode of entry of cytoplasmic polyhedrosis virus is per os and cause gresserie disease to the larvae. Histopathological studies elucidated the insect CPV virus produces infective polyhedral inclusion bodies (PIBs) in the midgut cell cytoplasm of virus infected fifth instar larvae. The PIBs multiply enormously in the cytoplasm without invading the nucleus. Ultrastructural studies confirmed the pathological effects of CPV on in midgut cell cytoplasm. The multiplication of polyhedral inclusion bodies took place into the vacuoles and form virogenic stromata in the cytoplasm of cells. However, the encapsulations of polyhedral inclusion bodies into the polyhedrin protein occurred and polyhedra were released into the lumen. At the late stage of infection, cells showed the regressed cytoplasmic organelles with large vacuoles and elongated mitochondria. Hence, the horizontal transmission of CPV causing the midgut cells disintegration in the tasar silkworm, Antheraea mylitta (D) confirmed during infection.

Tropical tasar silkworm, Antheraea mylitta (Lepidoptera: Saturniidae) is a polyphagous silk producing forest silkworm of commercial importance in India. Forest dependent people rear its larvae on different forestry host plants twice or thrice in a year for small household income. Larvae of A. mylitta feeds on many forest tree species, but always show a great degree of selectivity as a function of its behavioural responses to physical structure and chemical features of the host plants. Cocoon crop of A. mylitta is influenced by heterogeneity of tasar food plants and climatic conditions of the habitat. The role of host plants, temperature, humidity, rainfall, photoperiod and climatic variables on the growth and development of insects have clearly been demonstrated. This article entails an in-depth analysis on ecological and nutritional aspects of A. mylitta, which may provide selective information to researcher and forest managers, who are particularly associated with livelihood improvement of the poor people in forested area through location specific forest insect industry.
