An preliminary study was made with special references on the insect fauna of Mt. Gyeryong during the period from mid-May to mid-September 1981. The results were obtained as follows; 1. 673 species of insects within 156 families of 20 orders were identified and listed herewith. 2. The 16 species are first records from Korea : Phaneraptera nigro-antennata (Tettigoniidae : Orthop.), Phraraortes kumamotoensis(Phasmidae : Phasm.), Nesogaster lewisi (Nesogasteridae : Dermap), Polymerus palustris(Miridae : Hemip.), Agrosteomela indica (Chrysomelidae:Col.), Monochimus sparsutus (Cermbicidae : Col.), Oberthiiria ialcigera (Bombycidae: Lep.), Alcis albiiera (Geometridae : Lep.), Proplepsis diazama (G eometridae : Lep.) Pandemis cinnamomeana (Tortricidae : Lep.), Hypenodes squalida (Noctuidae : Lep.), Hypolimnas bolina (Nymphalidae : Lep.), Ctenophora nohirae (Tipulidae: Dip.), Ortalotrypeta isshiki (Trypetidaedae : Dip.), Trypeta artemisicola (Trypetidae : Dip.), Ichneumom 8-guttatus ( Ichneumonidae : Hymenop.). 3. We could find a considerable number of Oriental fauna species, Lepismachilis nipponica, Nezara antennata, Parapolybia varia, Anthophora zonata, Parnara guttata, Byasa alcinous, Eurema laeta, Pieris canidia, Eizera maha, Kaniska canace, Danaus sita including two newly recorded species, Monochimus sparstus and Hypolimnas bolina.

To search for the co-relationships between insect-pollinators and the plant species of Asteraceae, insects visiting in flower and the flowers in Korea, were studied from April 2010 to October 2011. The sum of flower visiting degrees are shown 38 in Lepidoptera, 38 in Diptera, 36 in Hymenoptera, and the lowest 6 in Coleoptera, respectively. 65 insect species are identified pollinators, Hymenoptera 13 species(Apidae 11 sp., Formicidae 2 sp.), Lepidoptera 29 species(Pieridae 5sp., Nymphalidae 12 sp., Satyridae 3 sp., Hesperirdae 3 sp., Lycaenidae 2 sp., Danaidae 1 sp., Moth 2 sp.), Diptera 16 species(Tachinidae 1 sp., Syrphidae 12 sp., Muscidae 1sp., Others 2 sp.), and Coleoptera 6 species(Cetoniidae 1 sp., Cermbycidae 3 sp., Chrysomelidae 1 sp., Mordellidae 1 sp.). 31 pollinator species visits the flower of $Erigeron$ $annuus$, next 15 pollinator species does the flower of $Eupatorium$ $japonicum$, and then 13 pollinator species does the flower of $Aster$ $ageratoides$. Only 2 pollinator species visit the flower of $Tephroseris$ $kirilowii$, $Ixeridium$ $dentatum$, $Inula$ $britannica$ var. $japonica$, $Carduus$ $crispus$, $Ligularia$ $fischeri$, $Ainsliaea$ $acerifolia$, $Synurus$ $deltoides$, $Cirsium$ $setidens$, $Crepidiastrum$ $enticulatum$ and $Dendranthema$ $boreale$. Pollinators of Lepidoptera visit more frequently white flower than yellow or purple one. This study found out that mutualisic relations between plants and insect pollinators is carried out in Korea.

This study was conducted to investigate the distribution and the population dynamics of Hipparchia autonoe by using a line transect and Mark-Release-Recapture (MRR) at the Mt. Halla in Jeju Island. The results showed that H. autonoe was found from 1,500 m above the sea level. Total 1,493 H. autonoe with 978 males and 515 females were captured and released in the MRR study site. Among them, 518 individuals including 284 males and 234 females were recaptured. The average survival time was 2.31 days with 2.14 days for males and 3.47 days for females, indicating longer survival time in case of females than males. The daily population size of males estimated in the MRR study site was maintained about 1,000 individuals in July and gradually decreased less than 200 in August. The number of females showed peak at 335 individuals on July 24, and gradually decreased less than 120 in August. Thus, female population was 1/3 of males. The average travel distance of male and female H. autonoe were $116.8{\pm}191.9m$ and $118.4{\pm}161.5m$, respectively, indicating almost same between sexes. H. autonoe in the Mt. Halla formed single population group in the wide meadow around the Baekrokdam Lake. The highest population density of H. autonoe was occurred in the restored area from damages, where host plants such as the sheep's fescue or the food plant are abundant by artificial restoration efforts.
