Abstract
An insect faunastic survey was carried out by participating in the Integrated Biodiversity Alliance Survey in 2012 as a part of efforts to collect data on regional biological resources conducted by the Korea National Arboretum. The survey locations were Is. Ulleungdo and neighboring islands including Is. Jukdo and Gwaneumdo, all located in the East Sea of Korea. As the result, the present study identified 433 insect species, 96 families and 11 orders from the sites. The insect fauna of Is. Ullenungdo and its adjacent islands consists of 1,177 species, 179 families and 18 orders in total when added with the results of the previous surveys made from 1955 to 2011.
