Swarm
by Cheryl Coon
a skim of water striders
a fluttering of moths
a rabble of butterflies
a cluster of grasshoppers
a plague of locusts
an army of ants
a siege of mosquitoes
a cloud of gnats
a grist of bees
a nest of hornets
a pladge of wasps
a colony of termites
a cluster of caterpillars
a clutch of spiders
a bite of midges
a tiding of ladybugs
a dance of mayflies
a blessing of beetles
a stink of earwigs
a bed of scorpions
a courtship of fireflies
a flight of dragonflies
