Abstract

This study was conducted to investigate insect fauna in the four insect garden sites of Suwon, Yeongyang, Buyeo and Yecheon from 2005 to 2007. Seasonal population size of insects was largest from June to August in all the four sites. In the four sites, Coleopteran insects were dominant followed by Hemiptera and Orthoptera. Unique education/learning programs are successfully run at the insect gardens based on the three geographic types (i.e. urban, mountainous and rural). These activities will help preserve insect biodiversity in the area and visitors better understand life forms such as insects found in the areas.

본 연구는 2005년부터 2007년까지 수원, 영양, 부여와 예천의 곤충 생태원 부지에서 곤충강의 다양성을 조사하였다. 월별 곤충 개체군 크기는 6월부터 8월에 네 조사구역 모두에서 가장 컸다. 전체적으로 딱정벌레목의 곤충이 가장 많이 채집되었으며, 노린재목과 메뚜기목의 곤충이 뒤를 이었다. 각 곤충생태원은 지리적 특색에 맞는 고유한 교육프로그램을 운영하고 있었다. 이러한 연구와 생태원의 활동은 그 지역의 곤충과 같은 생물의 다양성을 보존하고 관람객에게 인식시키는데 중요한 역할을 할 것이다.
