The vitellin of the fireflies, Luciola unmunsana and L. lateralis was characterized. The vitellin of L. unmunfon is composed of two subunits, designated Vnl (195 kDa) and Vn2 (185 kDa) in SDS-polyacryamide gel electrophoresis. These two subunits of vitellin of L. unmunsana gradually decreased during embryogenesis. As expected, these protein bands were presented in female adult hemolymph and egg extracts, but not in male. The vitellin of L. lateralis is also composed of two subunits, designated Vnl (195 kDa) and Vn2 (180 kDa) in SDS-PAGEi and these two protein bands gradually decreased during embryogenesis. Western blot analysis using each of polyclonal antiserum against vitellins of L. unmunsana and L. lateralis showed that two antisera strongly crossereacted with vitellin subunits of L. unmunsana and L. lateralis, suggesting that vitellins of L. unmunsana and L. lateralis have similarity with each other.

The traditional oviposition ground for indoor breeding of Luciola lateralis is moss. This study was conducted to find the most suitable alternative oviposition ground that can maintain or increase the oviposition rate of L. lateralis while addressing the problems of larva collection time and larva loss that occur when moss is used. As alternative candidate oviposition ground comprising six colors of non-woven fabric and felt were used to measure the fecundity variation rate of L. lateralis with respect to the color and material of the oviposition ground. In addition, measure the fecundity variation rate of L. lateralis in moss, a traditional oviposition ground, was also measured and investigated for comparison. The investigation showed that the average number of eggs in the non-woven fabric group was higher than that in the felt group. The yellow non-woven fabric had an average number of eggs that was more than 100 times higher than of moss used as a traditional oviposition ground. In the space where the six color non-woven fabric were together, L. lateralis concentrated its oviposition on yellow. These results showed that yellow non-woven fabric can be sufficiently used for efficient indoor mass breeding of L. lateralis while addressing problems caused by moss, a traditional oviposition ground.

To study the ecological characteristics of the Korean native firefly, Luciola lateralis, development and life history of L. lateralis were investigated throughout the indoor rearing. Average size of egg with an oval shape was 0.51${\times}$0.56 mm and an egg period of L. tateralis was approximately 25.8 days. The larvae were pupated at the 5$^{th}$ instar and the body length of the matured larvae was 15.8mm. The total periods of larval stage to the end of the $5^{th}$ instar were approximately 271.7 days. Pupae formed soil cocoon and average pupal period was approximately 28.7 days. Average number of eggs oviposited by a female was approximately 97. The body size of female in the pupa and adult were larger that of male.

This study created the running water (Bandibooliwon) and lentic water (Sooryunwon) artificial habitats of Luciola lateralis in Hwadamsup, Gwangju-si, Gyunggi-do from April 2014 to February 2016. Through various habitat types, metapopulation was formed, and more sound population was induced to be maintained via interactions between habitats. We investigated coenosite at the habitat creation-target site, and 20 species in the lentic water site and 38 species in running water site were found. After releasing L. lateralis, we checked the status of settlement of L. lateralis larvae through traps and macroscopy, controlled the flow velocity of the habitats in line with the life cycle of L. lateralis (hatching, larva period, landing, pupation, copulation, and oviposition), and shaped gentle slope at water side, and planted moss. We artificially supplied melanian snails (Semisulcospira sp.), the food source, in the running water site and induced stable feeding. Also, We created artificial insectary, bred larvae stably in winter, and secured firefly population for a festival. Through night time observation, the time most suitable for a festival was confirmed to be from 20:30 to 22:00.

A cDNA encoding the luciferase of firefly Luciola lateralis was cloned downstream from the polyhedrin gene promoter of Bombyx mori nucleopolyhedrovirus and expressed in B. mori cells (BmN-4). The coding soquence for luciferase was inserted into pBmKSK2 rectors) which was reconstructed from the polyhedrin-based transfer vector pBmKSKl by modifying cloning sites. Recombinant virus, BmK2-LUCDF, containing the luciferase gene was selected and purified in BmN-4 cells. The emission of luminescence by luciferase was only detected in BmK2-LUCDF-infected cell extracts. This result indicates that the cloned new luciferase gene of firefly L. lateralis can be expressed efficiently in baculovirus expression system and used as a useful reporter gene.

시판되는 살충제 10종과 비료 6종에 대하여 애반딧불이 각 태별(유충, 성충, 알) 독성평가를 실내실험을 수행하였다. 3령유충에 대한 독성은 MEP, PAP, Assit, Fenthion, Diazinon, Burofezin fenobucarb, Cartap Buprofezin, Thiamethoxam, Fipronil은 80.0%이상 사망율률 보인 반면, IGR(곤충성장 저해제)계통인 Tebufenozide은 33,3%의 낮은 사망률을 보였다. 공시약제인 Assit, Cartap Buprofezin, Fenthion, PAP에 대한 3령 유충의 $LC_{50}$값(반수치사량)은 각각 1.03 ppm, 1.90 ppm, 10.26 ppm, 0.98 ppm이었다. 알에 대한 영향은 매우 높은 독성을 보였다. 반면에 Tebufenozide은 100%의 부화율을 보였다. 공시비료인 요소, 유안, 염화가리, 용성인비, 복합비료(17-21-17), 규산질비료에 유충을 72시간 노출시켰을 경우 각각 27.3%, 56.7%, 73.3%, 0.0%, 0.0%, 0.0%의 독성을 보였다.

애반딧불이의 유충상륙은 약 5.3일이 소요되었고 고치방을 만든 후 약 6.6일에 번데기로 변태하였다. 고치방의 크기는 길이 10.1 mm, 폭 4.7 mm, 벽두께 1.3 mm이었다. 번데기는 약 10.5일이 소요되었다. 성충이 되고 고치방 속에 약 6.8일 후에 출현하였다. 성충의 출현은 PM. 9시를 전후로 최대였고 PM. 10시에 감소하였다. 성충출현의 최적지온은 $23.4^{\circ}C$였다. 실내개체군(Lab-type)의 암컷 및 수컷과 야외개체군(Nat-type)의 수컷은 수명이 비슷하였고, Nat-type의 산란 수는 200${\sim}$400립 구간을 형성하였다. 단지, Nat-type의 암컷은 수명이 짧았으며, 산란 횟수와 산란 수는 적었다. 산란횟수에서 야외개체군은 2회와 실내개체군은 4회로 차이를 보이는 것은 야외개체군은 시료 채집 이전에 산란했을 가능성을 배제할 수 없다.
