Total diversity ofants is 2.789 classified as moderate by spread of number of individual spread and of communitystability. The diversity of ants is strongly influenced by light intensity, temperature, humidity,wind, water and season. Difference of temperature micro, light climate, humidit, interspecificcompetition, availability of variety of food sources, habitat quality and human activities alsoaffect the diversity of ants. Another finding showed invasive ants, they were Soleonopsisgeminate, Paratrechina longicornis and Anoplolepis gracilipes.
