An endangered insect species has been found in Byeonsanbando National Park in North Jeolla Province.

The Korea National Park Service said that more than 20 two-striped green buprestids were found near Naeso Temple in the national park, which is the northernmost habitat of the beetle.

Designated as a natural treasure of the nation, two-striped green buprestids have been used for crafts and jewelry since the ancient Silla Kingdom because of their beautiful wings.
