Those look like a swarm of New Hampshire black flies, only smaller.

So remind me again when does Skynet become self-aware? I've got to revamp my stockpiling efforts.

They are still human made, and not Xen.

Manhacks were definitely the first thing to come to mind.
Don't worry, though. We aren't alone:

maybe both. I have no idea what half-life is, but that's freaking terrifying.

Build a taser into each of those and SWAT has a new favorite toy.
The military is already working on (has?) next-gen mini UAV's capable of automatically working together in formation to recon, sweep and take out targets, kamikazee-style if need be. So yeah, it's only a matter of time.

That'd work. The manhacks in Half-Life just did the kamikaze thing with sharpened rotors. Simpler, but brutally effective.
