Mean = N/S = 40/10 = 4

Margalef's richness Index :

d = (S - 1) / Log N

d = 10 - 1 / Log 40

d = 9 / 1.602

SPECIES

RESULT:

Total Species = 10
Most abundant Species = Ant

Total population = 40

Mean population= 4

DISCUSSION:

Ant was most abundant in our observation site that is chemistry. This might be due to muddy
place or having their habitat nearby. We observed Tree cricket which was found to be
attached with leave's. Crow was searching some sort of food in garbage, Cat was also seeking
for some food , Dog was found asleep. Due to garbage we also observed Cockroaches . On
grassy place we saw Grass hoppers hopping due to continuous disturbance . We also
observed Butterfly sucking nectar & moth also. We also found Pigeon while they were
drinking water.
