The foraging population was decreased thought out May and June then decline in July then decreased gradually started from September to reach December. In general, 70913 individuals were collected from 280 m2 all over the year with an average of 21.1 individuals/m2  or 88641.24 individuals  as estimated number / feddan. The general average of caste composition were 77.62, 13.96, 4.50 and 3.91% for workers, nymphs, Soldiers and winged adults, respectively. The total number of workers and soldiers were 58238 individuals. The total number of soldiers were 3193 represented 57.82% of all individuals.
