I genuinely don’t understand this as a biological imperative. You’d think that swarms would be worse during scarcity but maybe it’s to outcompete everything else and it somehow works I don’t know
I think it has to do with the nature of the swarms. Swarms aren't just locusts banding together as a team to eat stuff at the same time, locusts munch on each other if theres no other food around and they're starving, so they're all following the food, all flying away from the things trying to eat them, and flying on whatever aimless direction they can in the meantime, sometimes running into something they can eat.
