The aim of this study was to clarify the origins of grubs which were used in the experiments, and to determine many other effects that are now written in the classical medical and herbal books. We compared the efficacy of grubs written in the herbal and medical books on the one hand, and studied the origins of grubs used in the experiments, on the other hand. The following results were obtained. There are three kinds of grub species for medicinal uses. Holorichia diomphalia Bates mainly produced in China, Cetoniidae species mainly produced in Korea, and Protaeria brevitarsis in Korean folk remedy are three species. Grubs were used in 25 experiments. Of these experiments, Holotrichia diomphalia were used 12 times, Larve of Protaeria brevitarsis 3 times, and Protaetia orientalis was used once. So, of total 25 experiments, 36%(9 experiments) did not clarify the origins of grubs used in the experiments. Currently, the grubs, which are imported from China and used in Korea, are Holotrichia diomphalia Bates from China. Current experimental study shows that grubs have efficacy for protecting liver. So the use of grubs in folk medicine is believed to be based on the scientific evidence. Efficacy of grubs, though it is not recorded in the medical books, has the effects of anti-cancer(anti-tumor), antioxidant, and anti-diabetes mellitus. The ingredients of Holotrichia are protein, peptide, fat, enzyme, mineral, and other several nutrients. Study on the grubs so far has a tendency to be done with little focus on the differen of origin of grubs. So, from now on, it needs that the origin of grubs be clarified, and the study on the efficacy from each origin be done. Considering the effects that the classical herbal books have recorded, it is necessary that more profound study proceed to prevent and treat diseases on eyes and ears, on the basis of the fact that grub has multiple ingredients to replenish the vital essence.

1984년부터 1986년 까지 야회에서 큰검정풍뎅이와 참검정풍뎅이의 토양내 수직분포 계절적 변화를 조사하였다. 두 종 모두 란, 섭식지유충 및 성충은 주로 지표에서 10cm깊이에 위치하였으며 유츙이 월동을 위해 밑으로 이동을 시작하는 시기는 10월 하순-11월 상순으로 5cm깊이의 지온이 $10^{\circ}C$ 내외로 떨어진 때였다. 유충의 월동깊이는 큰검정풍뎅이가 10-40cm, 참검정풍뎅이가 30-80cm였다. 큰검정풍뎅이는 월동장소에서 그대로 부하 및 우화하였으나 참검정풍뎅이는 월동 후 이듬해 4월에 다시 지표 가까이로 올라와 섭식 하다 6월하순경 다시 ？으로 이동을 시작하여 10-40cm, 깊이에서 부하 및 우화하여 월동하였다.
