Plants are consumed by a myriad of organisms that compete for resources. Direct interactions among multiple plant-feeding organisms in a single host can range for each species from positive to negative. Wood-boring beetle is faced with a number of biotic and abiotic constraints that interfere with the good prospects from the tree. Biotic factors such as arthropod pests and diseases and abiotic factors such as drought and water-logging are the major constraints affecting the species. This study was conducted to provide basic data for analyzing forest health, identify the kinds of wood-boring beetles in the central part of Korea and analyze the species composition and diversity of regional communities. A total of 10,461 individual wood-boring beetles belonging to 8 families and 50 species were recorded during the attracted to trap trees in the pine forests on study sites. As a result of collecting from each study site, the community structure in all study sites was similar. Seasonal Occurrences of dominant wood-boring beetles (5 species) from each study site showed the highest number of all species except Siphalinus gigasin May, followed by a gradual decline, and the largest number of Siphalinus gigasappeared in June. The similarity index of species composition was relatively high from 0.75 to 0.90 for each study site.
