When the last red man shall have perished from the earth and his memory among the white men shall have become a myth, these shores will swarm with the invisible dead of my tribe. The white man will never be alone. Let him be just and deal kindly with my people, for the dead are not powerless.

Maybe the search for life shouldn't restrict attention to planets like Earth. Science fiction writers have other ideas: balloon-like creatures floating in the dense atmospheres of planets such as Jupiter, swarms of intelligent insects, nano-scale robots and more.

The great effort of civilization has been, and still is, the attempt to introduce a principle of control into that casual swarm of impressions which makes up men's thought and of which, especially with swayed by emotion, spontaneous action is the law.

American Critic

I get a little jealous of these actor boys. They walk into a club, and in two seconds flat there are swarms of girls who are wanting so badly to touch them or just say hello. That's not the case with me, or any other girl I know.

The only time I mind autographs is when I'm out with my family. You're trying to enjoy kids and grandkids and here comes a swarm, and there go your wife and kids. That happens to every celebrity. It's the price you pay.

Zombies have no memories of their former life. You wont see the undead trying to wash windows or do your taxes. All they know how to do is swarm and feed.

I slide my arm from under the sleeper's head and it is numb, full of swarming pins, on the tip of each, waiting to be counted, the fallen angels sit.

I never care about myself out in public when I get the paparazzi swarming me.

I'm not fond of cities: the constant activity and swarms of people.

Swarm is often used to describe groups of bees, wasps, or ants, especially when they are moving collectively.

Common Insects

Swarm implies a natural instinct, occurring when animals gather for migration, protection, or feeding.

Natural Behavior

Swarm is neutral and doesn’t always mean something negative; context indicates whether it's harmful.

Neutral Connotation

When used as a verb, swarm conveys a sense of urgency or hasty movement by a group.

Urgency and Rush

Swarming suggests spontaneous or unorganized clustering, unlike formal or scheduled gatherings.

Unplanned Gathering

Swarming can imply potential disorder or lack of control within a crowded situation.

Potential Chaos

When used for people, swarm often refers to a large, dense, and possibly overwhelming crowd.

Human Crowds

A human swarm suggests each individual is prominent, visibly contributing to the overall mass.

Intensity of Presence

Swarming indicates an excessive, often troublesome presence of living things or objects.

Problematic Infestation

Use swarm to describe situations where the large quantities involved are unwanted or irritating.

Negative Overcrowding

 when newer technology is able to help them. See, if the cells are frozen, there's very little molecular movement, and diffusion practically stops. Even if all of a person's cellular processes had already broken down, this could still conceivably be reversed by a swarm of nanobots, moving all the molecules back to their proper positions,

 The buzzing, the biting, the itching, the mosquito is one of the most commonly detested pests in the world. In Alaska, swarms of mosquitos can get so thick that they actually asphyxiate caribou.

So even though different amounts of air molecules are hitting you at different times, the swarm is so thick that all those little differences average out.

 Like many animals, fish stick together in groups, but that's not just because they enjoy each other's company. It's a matter of survival. Schools of fish exhibit complex swarming behaviors that help them evade hungry predators,
