Hi All
 
I had the experience this weekend again of running in a swarm that
had just left. Basically I ran with them for about half a kilometer,
accorss flat terrain on a farm. Suddenly I noticed that the swarm
contracted into a tight lump, gained altitude and then sort of
'hyperspaced'. They just speeded up incredibly convincingly.
 
How do they do this?? Why don't they do it from the beginning?? Is
there any explanation for how they do this??
 
Keep well
