Based on Wilensky's ant colony foraging model and considering additional nature rules including multi-species, competition and evolution mechanism, the model called AntcolonySim was promoted. Simulations based on AntcolonySim under different conditions were carried out as well as emergent properties including foraging predominance and competition predominance were analyzed quantificationally. AntcolonySim has simple rules which can simulate nature ant colony foraging realistically. The model is also a reference for discussing emergent behaviors in complex systems by bottom interactional agents.
