This study conducted analysis on forms and contents of Story of Insects (Gonchung Iyagi) and About Insects (Gonchung-gi), writings of biologist Jo Bok-seong published in 1948 to examine characteristics of two books and compare them. Story of Insects was made in the form of front cover-title page-foreword-table of contents-main text-copyright clause-advertisement-back cover, with the book size being A5 format. Contents of the book were divided into nine groups according to the characteristics of 65 species insects, to describe their characteristics. While, About Insects was made in the form of cover-title page-foreword-table of contents-main text-copyright clause-publication message of Eulyoo Mungo-advertisement-back cover, with the book size of A6 format. Contents of the book were divided into the author's own 11 groups according to the characteristics of 56 species insects, to describe their characteristics. About Insects being Eulyoo Publishing Co. and Story of Insects being Association of Joseon Children's Culture (abbreviated as Ahyeop) - sister company of Eulyoo Publishing Co. - but with the same basis.

Insects are the most successful organisms on earth in terms of their diversity and adaptability. Insect biotechnology using this insect resource is an emerging area for future biotechnology with various applications. Insect resources have long been used to make food and/or functional food, feed, cosmetics as well as medicine and industrial ingredients. Recently, one of the most well-known industrial material from insect is spider silk that could be commercialize in near future. The insect cell lines have been used to express recombinant proteins that were difficult to be functional expression. For public purpose, while, the insect could be good amenity source and plant farming, so leisure resource. Only the interdisciplinary research will guarantee the successful story for insect biotechnology. And biochemical engineers should used insect as a bioresource for new products with applications in medicine, agriculture, and industrial biotechnology in near future. This review will cover state-of-the art of this field and the research and application areas of insect biotechnology and the possible role of biochemical engineer for the development of the future biotechnology using this bioresource.

This study was carried out to make a standard criteria for protection and maintenance of the big and old trees in Ansung city, Kyonggi Prvince. There have been found 6 vegetative species cultivated in this area, which are Zelkova serrata, Gingko biloba, Kalopanax pictus, Pyrus ussuriensis var. macrostipes, Pyrus ussuriensis var. acidula, Pinus densiflora, etc. The Zelkova serrata tree is the major species among them and about 73.5％ in the population of the big and old trees in this area. The DBH (diameter at brest height) of them is 1.5-1.9m in 29.4% of whole population and the tree height is 10-l4m in 47.1%. The estimate age of 7 trees is more than 500 years old and they were 20.6％ of the whole population. Interesting point is that about 64.7％ of these trees in this area have own succeed story in terms of folk religion, object of worship, taboo, legend or secret. This study has also revealed that many fowls, small animals and epiphyte inhabited with the big and old trees have been found. However, 97.1％ of them are in danger from the plant disease and noxious insects or cutting damage of branches, but no management has been taken. More over, 85.3％ of the whole investigated big and old trees have been in the poor condition for percolation or aeration because the area around them has been payed with asphalt or concrete.
