Insects are the most diverse groups of animals on the planet, representing more than one‐half of all known living organisms, and are found in nearly every environment. Recently, the importance of insects as food sources or as pets has increased in many countries, including Korea. In addition, several insects have been shown to exert a strong influence on people's emotions. Our insect‐mediated mental healthcare program is designed to help meet the physical, behavioral and developmental needs of people with mental disorders. Children with mental disorders, the experimental group, were provided with an insect‐mediated mental healthcare program for a total of eight sessions, one session per week, at 1–2 h per session, accompanied by a pre‐test and post‐test. The overall, gender, education level, and mental disease profiles of the participants in this study were balanced. Our results indicated that children who participated in the insect‐mediated healthcare program group once showed significant improvement in their emotional health and insect awareness. Additionally, paired education level's t‐tests showed that the outcomes of the participants in treatment group were significantly improved (α < 0.05). However, participants' satisfaction with their school life (middle school) was not influenced. These results suggest that insects positively influence children's emotional health through an insect‐mediated healthcare program. Further research on the basis of this study is expected to help children with emotional therapy in other areas.

“…The questionnaires included items that measured planning, subjective quality of life, self-reported depression, self-worth. The questions were simple and clear, and the questionnaire's reliability and stability had been previously demonstrated (Bae et al, 2014;Bae et al, 2013). One or twohours insect-mediated mental healthcare program sections were run in the morning once weekly for 10 wk ( therapy, art therapy, play therapy, drama therapy, horticultural therapy, dance therapy, and animal-assisted therapy (Marcus 2013;Maratos et al, 2011;RenXia 2013;Chinekesh et al, 2014;Hussain 2010).…”

Several insects have been shown to exert a strong influence positively on peoples' emotions. Insect-mediated mental healthcare program was designed to help meet the physical, behavioral and developmental needs of adolescents. They were provided with an insectmediated mental healthcare program for a total of 10 sessions, one session per wk, at 1 h per session, accompanied by a pre-and post-test for emotion. Significant differences and correlations were found according to the individual participants' planning, subjective quality of life, self-reported depression and self-worth, respectively. The results indicated that adolescents who participated in the insect-mediated healthcare program group once showed significant improvement in their planning, subjective quality of life and self-worth. However, most of all participants' self-reported depression was not influenced. These findings suggest that pet-insects positively affect adolescent's emotional health via an insect-mediated healthcare program. IntroductionInsects are easily found in nearly every environment. They are among the most diverse groups of animals on Earth. The insect species is estimated at between six and ten million, and there are more species of insects than all other animals put together (Chapman 2009;Novotny et al., 2002). Although humans regard certain insects as pests and attempt to control them using insecticides, most insects perform complex ecological roles and provide either direct or indirect economic benefits to humans (Cherniack, 2010;Ratcliffe et al., 2011). Recently, the interest of insects is increasing as food sources or as pets in many countries, including Korea.Mental problem has affected 10-20% of children and adolescents in worldwide (Kieling et al., 2011). Exposure to disadvantaged environments during early life predicts lower IQ and academic achievement, increased anti-social behavior, lower economic productivity and poor health and chronic disease in adulthood (Barker et al., 2003;Shonkoff et al., 2009

In the present study, we used next-generation sequencing to develop 12 novel microsatellite markers for genetic structural analysis of Dorcus titanus castanicolor (Lucanidae; Coleoptera), a popular pet insect in China, Korea, and Japan. We identified 52,357 microsatellite loci in 339,287,381 bp of genomic sequence and selected 19 of the loci based on their PCR amplification efficiency and polymorphism. The 19 selected markers were then tested for the presence of null alleles and linkage disequilibrium. We did not detect any evidence of null alleles; however, four pairs of loci (DT03 and DT11, DT05 and DT26, DT08 and DT26, DT26 and DT35) exhibited linkage disequilibrium. Thus, we assessed the genetic diversity of a D. titanus castanicolor population from the Daejeon region of Korea (n = 22) using 13 markers. Among them, one marker (DT17) deviated from Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium. Therefore, 12 markers may be useful for further analyzing the genetic diversity of D. titanus castanicolor.
