Heteroceran Fauna of Mt. Okdolbong, Gyeongbuk, Korea (Lepidoptera)

AbstractThis study aims to obtain the basic data for studies on changes in insect fauna and insect resources around Mt. Okdolbong in Bongwha, Gyeongbuk, where a national arboretum is planned to be constructed, through investigating the insect fauna and obtaining its evidence samples. In particular, this region is very important for studies on biodiversity and its preservation, and requires fundamental data for related studies such as investigations of vulnerable species and changes in their distribution associated with climatic changes. A total of 263 species including 1,689 individuals of moths was collected in this study. The most dominant species was Endotricha loivaceali with 222 individuals, and was followed by Hydrillodes morose with 97 individuals and Craneophora ficki with 86 individuals
