Abstract

The adults of Hermetia illucens collected in Korea were about the same size as those from their origin. The body part with the largest size variation was the antenna 2 followed by the head width and the abdomen width. It can be the baseline of selection of superior individuals for organic waste decomposition and compost production. In regards to the habitat, the adult Hermetia illucens were collected from 22 of the 51 localities. Although geographical characteristics such as coordinates and altitude may not affect the insects, the presence of organic matters could affect them. The distribution pattern of the insects may act as an indicator of natural recycling of organic wastes.

이 연구에서 채집된 아메리카동애등에의 성충은 원산지의 성충과 그 크기가 비슷했다. 체형에서 가장 큰 차이점을 보이는 부분은 더듬이 바깥쪽(antenna 2) 길이이며, 그 다음으로는 머리넓이(head width), 복부넓이(abdomen width) 등의 순으로 나타났다. 이 연구결과는 유기물 분해와 분변토 생산의 우수개체를 선발하는데 기초자료가 될 것이다. 국내 51개 조사지역 중, 22개 지역에서 아메리카동애등에가 출현했으며 위경도 및 고도 등 지리적 특성보다는 유기물의 존재에 더 영향을 받는 것으로 생각된다. 이 곤충의 발생현황은 유기성 폐자원의 선순환 구조를 파악할 수 있는 지표로 사용될 수 있을 것이다.
