sherets
among the swarming things
Collective term for small, low-moving or swarming creatures, especially those which crawl, creep, or teem close to the ground or in water. Includes a broad spectrum of living things such as insects, arthropods, small reptiles, amphibians, and aquatic organisms that move in swarms or masses. Serves as a catch-all for a zoological category defined more by movement and observable behavior than by strict species delineation.
