mosquito swarm
Buzzing pest horde
A mosquito swarm is a dense cloud of mosquitoes gathered in one area, typically males congregating to mate.
The term also describes any overwhelming concentration of the insects: We walked into a mosquito swarm near the marsh.
Figuratively, swarm emphasizes sheer annoying abundance rather than coordinated behavior.
