Abstract

Imago's flight activities of Protaetia brevitarsis were from mid June to early September, and those of Allomyrina dichotoma were from mid June to late August. These activities were mainly influenced by amount and duration of rain. They were more active when there was small amount and short period of rain in a year. Distribution depth of the 3$^{rd}$ larvae of P. brevitarsis were not affected to the temperature. But A. dichotoma were sensitively react to the temperature, almost larvae were near the surface when high temperature. The distribution of P. brevitarsis was not affected by humidity, but most of A. dichotoma were near the surface when high humidity. Larvae of P. brevitarsis usually ate their dead individuals. When we supplied as food the pork, chicken, fresh mackerel, bread, apple, and pear. They took all of these food but larvae of A. dichotoma took only bread. Two species were lived in similar environment but those feeding habit was very different.

흰점박이꽃무지(Protaetia brevitarsis) 비상활동은 6월 중순부터 9월 상순이며, 장수풍뎅이 (Allomyrina dichotoma) 비상활동은 6월 중순부터 8월 하순까지이다. 두 종의 비상활동은 모두 강수에 영향을 받아 강수량과 강수일수가 적은 해에는 비상활동이 활발하였다. 흰점박이꽃무지 3령충은 온도에 따른 분포깊이에 영향이 없었으나, 장수풍뎅이 3령 유충은 온도에 민감하게 반응하여 고온에서는 대부분의 개체들이 표면에 분포하였다. 흰점박이꽃무지 3령충은 과습한 상태가 분포깊이에 크게 영향을 주지 않았으나, 장수풍뎅이 유충은 과습한 상태에는 대부분이 표면 근처에 분포한다. 흰점박이꽃무지 유충은 죽은 개체의 속을 파먹는 것을 볼 수 있으며 돼지고기, 닭고기, 생고등어, 식빵, 사과, 배 등을 투여한 결과, 흰점박이꽃무지는 모두 잘 섭식하나 장수풍뎅이는 빵만을 섭식하였다. 두 종은 유사한 환경에서 서식하나 식이는 상당히 큰 차이를 나타내었다.
