Abstract Insect immune responses are divided into humoral and cellular responses. Humoral immunity includes the production of antimicrobial peptides, reactive oxygen and nitrogen derivatives, and coagulation and melanization of hemolymph,whereas cellular immunity comprises hemocytemediated reactions such as phagocytosis, nodule formation, and encapsulation. During the present study, total haemocyte count assessed for the ants of different sample collecting sites were found to be different. On the comparison of the ants collected from five different sites the THC of ants collected from the construction area were found to be the highest as 103 cells in one drop of haemolymph while that of ants collected from garden were found to be the lowest as 31 cells in one drop of haemolymph. The THC of ants collected from play-ground were found to be 63 cells, from fish-market area 46 cells and from roadside area 47 cells were found in one drop of haemolymph.During the present relative study higher THC values were observed in the ants collected from the construction area and then in the ants collected from play-ground in comparison to ant samples collected from other sites. The density of haemocytes in ants generally depends upon the volume of the haemolymph. The feeding efficiency of the ants increases the haemocyte counts in them.
