A lot of this is not exactly macro, but there's definitely some small stuff involved.

In any case, I thought the crew here would be interested in this research effort to understand how locusts do their swarming thing.

At the Department of Collective Behaviour, part of the Max Planck Institute of Animal Behavior, researchers are putting locusts into simulated worlds, both virtual and physical, in the hope that they can figure out how devastating swarms form and move.
