Can swarms take a double move? I haven't found anything saying that they cannot, nothing says that they don't have a standard action and if they can't the standard action is useless to them.
Any help is appreciated, Thanks. ;)
I guess they could, but why would they? It's a swarm, there's no intelligence guiding its actions.

Mostly because they're hungry and there's nothing to eat after moving once?

Honestly, NO intelligence is overstated. They have enough intelligence to have basic drives. A swarm is made up of individual animals that must eat, rest, and poop. They can be dispersed with appropriate triggers and move towards or away from food and threats.
Swarms are explained here and reference specific traits as being inherited from the type of creature the swarm is comprised of. If it is a swarm of garden slugs then they probably won't double move. If it's the spiders from Arachnophobia you have a different situation.

A swarm has a normal set of actions but only one option, move to target. If that is a single move away it takes a single move and stops, if it is a double move away it takes two move actions and stops.
Also a slower swarm has a smaller speed not less actions, unless they have the staggered quality like zombos or a quality i missed under the definition of swarm, they have a normal suite of actions, just not many options.
