“…Insect abundance may have been greater during the Joseon dynasty due to an absence of pesticide use in that era. In the Annals of the Joseon Dynasty, there were 261 records of pest outbreaks and they were reported to be stressful to both the king and the general public (Park et al ). Although we cannot fully exclude the possibility that insect abundance was greater in Joseon dynasty and that Nam wrote letters by using insects, the chance of the latter is quite low for several reasons.…”

The Annals of the Joseon Dynasty report that large-scale reformations undertaken by Jungjong, 11th king of the Joseon dynasty, were stopped after Kwang-Jo Cho was slandered and subsequently executed. Reportedly, a party opposing the reformations wrote a phrase "走肖爲王" on a leaf in the palace by using sugary water; subsequently, insects ingested the sugary parts of leaf and the phrase was left behind. The phrase "走肖爲王" means "Cho will become king" and Jungjong accepted the phrase as a warning sign from heaven that Cho was attempting a coup d'état. Although there are several historical records that report such insect writing, it has not been determined whether creating a phrase on a leaf by using insects is possible. In a field study conducted on Gwanak Mountain, Korea, we tested whether writing letters on leaves by insects is possible. The results showed no sign of selective insect ingestion creating the form of a letter on a leaf after sugary water was applied. There is a high possibility that 走肖爲王 incident was fictional; particularly when considering the complexity of the phrase and the life history and behavior of insects.

“…멸강나방은 비래해충으로 우리나라에서는 월동하지 못 하고, 5월에서 7월 중국으로부터 비래하여 온 것이 해에 따라 크게 발생하여 피해를 주고 있다 (Choi and Cho, 1975;Choi, 1981). 조선시대에도 피해에 대한 기록이 있어 (Park et al, 2010) 예전부터 그 피해가 있었음을 알 수 있다. 멸강나방은 2령충 때까지는 잔디의 잎 끝부분을 중심으 로 엽맥만 남기고 가해하지만 3령충부터 6령충까지는 잎 전체를 가해한다 (Choi et al, 1992;Gorsuch and Hale, 2012).…”

The armyworm, Pseudaletia separata was occurred suddenly in a golf club in Namhae, Gyeongnam province in 2013. Thus, pathogenicity of seven species of entomopathogenic nematodes (Steinernema carpocapsae GSN1 strain, S. glaseri Dongrae strain, S. longicaudum Nonsan strain, S. monticolum Jiri strain and S. siamkayai, Heterorhabditis sp. Gyeongsan strain, and H. bacteriophora Hamyang strain) was evaluated against armyworm on tall fescue in pot and golf course to control this pest environmentally friendly. The pathogenicity against P. separata larvae was significantly different depending on nematode species. The corrected mortality of fifth instar of P. separata was 100% in the treatment with S. carpocapsae GSN1 in 7 days in tall fescue pot. However, there was not different in the mortality of fifth instar of P. separata (80 to 100%) at the rate of 385 to 6,160 infective juveniles (Ijs) (=2.5×10 2 to 4×10 5 Ijs/m 2) of S. carpocapsae GSN1 strain in each pot. Corrected mortality of P. separata was 65 and 60% at the rate of 10 5 Ijs/m 2 of S. carpocapsae GSN1 and S. longicaudum Nonsan strain, respectively in the tall fescue of golf course.
