This screen print is from a larger series of works by the artist, which includes in total 6 silkscreen prints of insects. When all the prints are packaged together, they are placed in a linen box with a plastic cover. Inside the plastic cover is dirt from the artist, Edward Ruscha's, elementary school playground in Oklahoma. Ruscha favors the United States, and its landscape, as the subject of his works. In the larger context of the David Levine exhibition, this work can be viewed as a comment on swarms or crowds of people.
