Last night tried to take photos of bugs swarming around a light. Got some very interesting squiggly lines. What's up with that?

long exposure is causing the solid lines but not sure about the jagged lines. Maybe wings alternating?

they look like DNA strands.

so interesting!

Operator error?

SteveBob : Oh, good thought about alternating.

heylisa : I agree!

Very cool!!

Fly Fisher : Yes!!!

very cool

Intriguing!

there is movement, subjects are moving -- i think that's why there are lines in the image captured. but i'm no photgraphy expert.

LisaNWOSU2000 : Uh huh!

Mim58 : Very!

Q Tsuki-Neko🌙😼 : Yes, about the movement! It's the squiggles that I don't fully understand.
