  • Vespid wasps (Vespa spp.) are the most noxious pests on apiculture, resulting in significant economic losses. Early monitoring and management are the first step to prevent the damages from vespid wasps. In this study, the acoustic signals from wasps and honey bees were measured by a microphone with a preamplifier and an analog-digital converter. In frequency analysis of the acoustic signals from wasps and honey bees, there were differences between the two species. While the fundamental frequency of the wasps was analyzed to be about 100 Hz with the strong harmonic frequencies, that of the honey bees was about 200~250 Hz. The 2nd harmonic signals from wasp were strongest while the fundamental ones from honey bees were. These different sound features generated by wasps or honey bees might be applied to develop the early monitoring system of the incursion of wasps to the apiary.

  • The aim of this study was to assess the occurrence and foraging of social and other wasps and bees in Jirisan National Park (JNP, South Korea), in particular in an apiary. Sixty one traps were placed in the southwestern part of JNP to identify social wasps from July to September 2014, and the damage to the apiary caused by wasps or bees was observed once a month from May to December 2014 between 10 a.m. and 5 p.m. In total, 10 species of Vespidae were collected by trapping. Vespa crabro was the most abundant (245 individuals, 28.3%), followed by Vespa velutina (162 individuals, 18.7%). In the apiary, however, V. velutina was the most frequent species. V. velutina visited a maximum of 167 times a day in September, which corresponded to one visit in 2.5 min. Accordingly, these data are in line with the most serious impact of V. velutina on the apiaries in South Korea. V. simillima was the second most frequent species; both Vespa species hawked honeybees. Even though the occurrence of V. mandarinia was low, this species caused serious damage by mass slaughter of honeybees. The occurrence of V. crabro, V. analis and V. ducalis was quite low and their impact on honeybees was negligible. There have been few reports of V. dybowskii foraging for honeybees, but they are considered to be a new pest because their impact on apiaries is considerable. Most Vespa species attacked the apiary from June to October, with a maximum in September. However, V. velutina visited until November to early December. Vespula species are not more serious pests than Vespa species, but many adults were observed stealing honey from beehives. Polistes, Orancistrocerus, and Bombus species had no impact on honeybee colonies in the apiary.

  • 호리병벌과를 이용한 생물학적 환경평가 기법을 개발하기 위하여 농업지역 등 충 13개 지역에 대통트랩(nest trap)을 설치한 후 채집된 호리병벌과의 벌류를 분류 동정하고, 채집지의 환경에 따른 서식밀도를 분석하여 환경평가를 위한 유망종을 선발하였다. 시험기간 동안 총 7종이 채집되었으며, 그 중 황슭감탕벌(A. flavomarginatum Smith)이 우점종으로 나타났다. 호리병벌과에 속하는 종들의 영소수는 농업지역의 경우 무비무농약재배지에서 12.8개/m로 관행농업지의 7.2개/m에 비해 많았으며, 자연녹지의 경우 녹지지역(자연녹지도: 4.28)의 경우 13.4개/m로 상업지역(자연녹지도: 1.00, 1.2개/m)에 비해 많았다. 또한 영소수가 많은 지역일수록 종 풍부도 및 다양도 지수는 높게 나타났다. 한편, 농업농촌 생태계 등 자연환경평가 지표중으로 황슭감탕벌, 줄무의감방벌, 먹조롱박벌, 왕가위벌등 4종을 선발하였으며, 이들 종의 출현수 및 총 영소수, 종 다양도 등을 지표로 한 환경등급기준($I{\sim}IV$ 등급)을 설정하였다.

  • Ichneumonidae are well-known parasitoids that attack the larvae or pupae of other insects. This study analyzed whether the abdominal DNA of two ichneumonid wasps, Pimpla disparis and Theronia atalantae gestator, showed the signature of the host species, Ivela auripes. Observations confirmed that these two ichneumonids were the representative parasitoid species growing in the larvae of I. auripes. In addition, sequence analysis showed that the mitochondrial cytochrome oxidase I gene of the host was amplified completely from the DNA extracted from the gut tissues of the ichneumonids. Even after 96 h of adulthood, the host's DNA traces did not disappear and were amplified in many individuals. These results suggest a constructive first step for establishing of a host information bank for ichneumonids in the future.

  • Kim (1970) was an early, comprehensive foundation for the taxonomy of Korean spider wasps. All the species therein are reviewed, and an annotated checklist comprising 21 species is presented. Species names are corrected in terms of current taxonomy. Based on the re-examination of voucher specimens, five misidentifications are rectified, of which two species rectified as Priocnemis(Leptopriocnemis) cyphonota and P.(Umbripennis) pseudojaponica are new to Korea. Also, occurrences of two species (Anoplius eous and An. viaticus) in Korea, which was doubted by Lelej et al. (1994), are confirmed. On the other hand, exclusions of two species (Irenangelus perinx and Priocnemis mitakensis) from the Korean fauna are proposed. However, the need for further study on six species (Anoplius reflexus, An. infuscatus, Arachnospila eisukei or Ar. fumipennis eisukei, Auplopus obtusus, Priocnemis irritablis) historically mentioned for the Korean fauna is newly recognized. The current taxonomic status of those species is briefly discussed.

  • Forty six individuals out of 200 Acronicta rumicis larva were parasitized (23 %) in 2000, 14 individuals out of 60 (23.33 %) in 2001, and 14 individuals out of 62 (22.58 %) in 2002. The mean parasitism rate was $22.97{\pm}0.38%$. The parasitism rate was 36.36 % in May and 52.78 % in October, 2000, 75 % and 50% in May and October 2001, 71.4% and 47.37% in May and October 2002 and it was much higher than other months. Parasitism was occurred from May to October 2000, but it was not in June and August 2001 and June 2002. There was no difference in the monthly mean parasitism rate, but the rate was the highest in May and October. The parasitoid of the larva of A. rumicis was the highest by 77.02% of parasitic wasps, and 13.51% of parasitic flies. It was found that multiparasitism was 4.05 % and hyperparasitism was 5.41 %. In case of parasitic wasps whose parasitism rate is the highest, the rate of Braconidae and Ichneumonidae was 70.18 % and 29.82 % respectively. That is, the former has much higher parasitism rate. The parasitism rate of the larva of A. rumicis was found that Microplitis sp. is $5.28{\pm}0.63%$, Glyptapanteles liparidis $8.62{\pm}3.70%$, and Diadegma sp. $4.02{\pm}1.28%$ respectively.
