Talk:Swarm of flies

Swarms as opposed to singular vermin?
Swarms of flies are very apparent in most of the games I have played - springing in to existence whenever I butcher a corpse, for example. They appear in the standard tileset as a hatched tile (▒) and having a bright green name when you look at them. I haven't been observant enough to see an individual fly as vermin but I believe they are similar enough to warrant it, so in the meantime I am creating a redirect to the Fly page. I can see that we will need to resolve the following:
- Does a cat killing a fly (singular) leave a vermin corpse (fly remains)?
- Does a dwarf get a bad thought from a swarm, a singular fly or both?
- With two tiles, if we do treat them as one vrmin, how do we display the difference between a fly (singular) and a swarm, short of customising the infobox template?
