본 연구는 광릉숲에서의 장수하늘소의 실제 서식현황을 재확인하고, 서식밀도를 추정하기 위해 수행하였다. 2006년 성충 발생기를 전후하여 조사한 결과 암컷 1개체가 발견되었으며, 발견된 암컷의 방사과정에서 산란행동이 관찰되었는데, 나무 상부로 이동하면서 서어나무의 수피 틈에 낱개로 산란하였으며 산란회수는 20회 이상임이 확인되었다. 금번연구를 통해 현재까지 알려진 정보들을 종합하고 이들의 보전을 위한 방안을 제시하였다.
A survey to investigate the inhabitation of Callipogon relictus Semenov and evaluate the population of the species in the Gwangneung Forest was conducted during last seven years. During the study, a female was observed in the forest in 2006 which confirmed a possibility of the inhabitation with a small population. Fortunately, a ovipositing female was observed in the forest during this study period in 2006. The female laid more than 20 eggs singly in the crack of bark of the Carpinus laxiflora Blume. We collated the all available data for the species with the present study including the previous reports to provide the information far the conservation plan. It will be needed the long term monitoring and various efforts for the conservation of the species will be need hereafter.
