The data of species diversity were analyzed using Shannon-Wiener index, evenness of species were analyzed by Simpson index, and dominant species using important value index. The results showed that there were 91 individuals predator found which consisted of 7 species. The highest species diversity (1.74) and evenness (0.89) were found in Pulau Punjung. The lowest diversity and evennes (1,40) and (0,75) was found in Koto Besar. The highest species importance value index was 1,00, that was Menochillus sexmaculatus
