Devouring Swarm

Swarms of insects have descended, decimating crops and starting to take chunks of flesh from the living as well.

There's a constant buzzing in your ears, even well behind the netting barriers. It’s a long and painful process—for each creature you catch and kill ten more take its place, and every hour that goes by those ten become another hundred. The more time passes, the less and less you have for yourself, as they consume everything in sight, no matter how many you kill.

(Isaiah 7:18-19, In that day the Lord will whistle for flies from the Nile delta in Egypt and for bees from the land of Assyria. / They will all come and settle in the steep ravines and in the crevices in the rocks, on all the thornbushes and at all the water holes.)
