Polyzonus This is a bettle, 15 to 20mm long, with a cylindrical breast, a process on both sides, and dark blue legs covered with short whitish-grey hair. It inhabits Korea, Manchuria, Mongolia, and Siberia. 3, Anthocaris Belonging to the Pieridae, this small butterfly is found from April to May, and goes into hiber-nation in pupal form from the summer. This insect inhabits Korea, Japan and China. 4. Cincindela This insect, whose body is golden-green or golden-red, generally lives in groups. Nimble of movement, it flees from a person as if it were guiding him ahead. Hence its Korean name is `guide`. There are about 1,300 different kinds of the insect in the world. 5.

It lays three to five eggs in a 6mm or so deep hole of a dry tree branch.`
