insect swarms

Insect swarms are large groups of insects that gather together, often for reasons like mating, feeding, or protection. These gatherings can appear as clouds, clusters, or moving masses of insects, such as mosquitoes, locusts, or flies. Swarming behavior is influenced by environmental cues, social interactions, and survival strategies, allowing insects to enhance reproduction, locate resources, or evade predators. While some swarms are harmless or beneficial, others can become pests, causing agricultural damage or spreading diseases. Understanding these behaviors helps in managing and controlling insect populations effectively.
