In the video you can see the insects moving in one group to give themselves a menacing look that will scare and possibly prevent lunatics from seeing them as available food.

The insects mixed with each other like a conveyor belt that allowed the swarm to move much faster than a single insect.

It turns out that when insects gather in several layers they can move at almost double the speed of a single insect.



The Daily Mail reports that it is estimated that these are larvae of a mosquito called dark-winged fungus gnat.

The length of these insects is around 6.35 millimeters and they are known for their ability to walk in a group and look like a large snake.

Other research experts have estimated that these may be larvae of Asian rice gall midges, which are 5 mm long and tend to damage rice areas in Asia and delay its development.
