First Post
A new creature: the Brood of Roaches. Basically, a Wasp Swarm with a different ability.
Eventually, I plan to post more swarms here; feel free to add your own. I've got the following swarms in the works:
School of Pirhana
Crawling Claw Swarm
Grave Worms (worms that infest corpses and cause them to animate)
Husk Swarm (a reanimated swarm insect exoskeletons)
Two energon swarms - tiny xeg-ya and xag-yi.
And a unique swarm from some place that's a bit "far out."
Without further ado...

Distraction (Ex): Any nonmindless creature vulnerable to the swarm damage of the brood of roaches that begins its turn with a swarm in its square it nauseated for 1 round. A Fortitude save (DC 13) negates the effect. Spellcasting or concentrating on spells within the area of a swarm requires a Concentration check (DC 20 + spell level). Using skills requiring patience and concentration requires a Concentration check (DC 20).
Disease (Ex): The brood of cockroaches lives in filth. Creatures who suffer damage from the swarm must make Fortitude saves (DC 13) or become afflicted with filth fever.
