The 70s and to an extent the 80s were very much the time of "animals run amuck" stories, movies and novels, so many novels. All sorts of creatures were going crazy or mutant in packs or swarms or sometimes smaller numbers back then, the 'follow the leader' at least in the UK was probably James Herbert's "The Rats" and all sorts followed and had a go at it: rats, bats, cats (feral and domestic), dogs, frogs, pigs, scorpions, snakes, crocodiles, alligators, lampreys, pike, jellyfish, locusts, maggots, slugs, worms, spiders, cockroaches, beetles, blowflies, woodlice, preying mantises...and probably earwigs or budgies or something too.
