Hi Lars,
your film is in reverse! We arrive at the very first signs of a major event with this picture. I an assure you that few people have ever documented this early moment. My congratulations. The picture will be a classic, maybe not in TN but with the entomologists. My congratulations, Lars!
Best regards
Dietrich
