애반딧불이 실내사육과정에서 알과 성충의 계절적 특성

Seasonal changes in the firefly (Luciola lateralis) were studied in the laboratory to understand biological characteristics. Fecundity varies with seasons; these were measures at 162.0±8.67 in the winter, 226.9±15.84 in the spring and 166.6±9.3 in the summer. Seasonal change also influenced oviposition period (6.9±0.59 days in the winter, 16.1±1.10 days in the spring and 8.2±0.61 days in the summer). The firefly oviposited every 2.5±0.22 days in the winter, 3.9±0.25 days in the spring, and 2.3±0.14 days in the summer. Oviposition occurred 3 times in the winter, and 4 times in the spring and summer. The number of eggs per cycle was 52.2±4.56 and 55.9±4.38 in winter and spring, respectively, and was lower in the summer (42.2±3.76). Egg period significantly differed among seasons. The life span of the firefly was 17.9±0.14 days in the winter, 19.7±0.25 days in the spring and 16.5±0.43 days in the summer.
