It's a common sight gag in humorous animation that fish, insects and other swarms have an amazing ability to coordinate movement into very exact shapes. (Especially impressive with fireflies in the night.)

== [[Anime]] and [[Manga]] ==
* Issue 7 of ''[[Blame]]'' has the main character briefly interacting with a swarm of microorganisms, which assumes various simple forms -- :) for "hello", O for "yes", X for "no", etc -- toetc—to answer his queries. [[Justified Trope|Justified]], in that the swarm is actually controlled by an AI, in a highly futuristic world where this kind of trick is pretty common.
* In ''[[SD Gundam Force]]'', the Bagu-Bagu swarms do this.
* ''[[Panty & Stocking with Garterbelt|Panty and Stocking With Garterbelt]]'' has a swarm of flies forming into a human hand... who gives [[Butt Monkey|Chuck]] the finger, complete with [[Written Sound Effect]] "[[Refuge in Audacity|FUCK!]]"
