Ecological characteristics of the Firefly, Luciole lateralis

애반딧불이(Luciola lateralis)의 생태학적 특성

  • Published : 2009.06.30

Abstract

The Luciola lateralis larva took 5.3 days from climbing on the land to the pupal cocoon formation. It took 6.6 days for a larva to eventually transform to a pupa after building a pupal cocoon. The size of pupal cocoon was 10.1 mm in length, 4.7 mm in width and its wall thickness was 1.3 mm. The mean pupal period was 10.5 days. The adult stayed 6.8 days in the pupal cocoon before escaping the cocoon. The peak adult emergence appeared around 9 p.m., and decreased after 10 p.m. The optimal soil temperature for emergence was $23.4^{\circ}C$. The female adult of the natural population (Nat-type) lived shorter, laid fewer eggs, and the oviposition frequency was fewer than that of the Lab-type individuals. However, a few individuals from the natural population laid 200-400 eggs. The less number of oviposition in the natural population may be due to the fact that the female adults might lay eggs before the collection for the experiment.

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.
