so far the last new dfs/dff found by our engine. (but  nesdori  must still have more :D)  
  
it shows a "tourist": a bfly starting from the top-left, moving through the whole dfs in clockwise direction until it returns home. then it takes a rest and makes three loops in the top-left corner before starting another tour!  
  
while making the tour, the bfly rides along a bfly vortex (the usual helpers in similar cases). when the bfly rests in the top-left corner, the other flies don't seem to do much.  
  
now with a closer look you can spot two details:  
  
1. the bfly starting the tour is no longer the same when it returns! in the bottom-left corner, the tourist pushes another bfly upwards who then becomes the new tourist.   
  
2. while the bfly rests in the top-left corner, the other three bflies (in particular, the former tourist and the vortex) rearrange themselves to form a new vortex for the tourist, while the third bfly waits in the bottom-left corner to become the next tourist.  
  
the first two rows of the map (phases 1-12) show the tourist's movement through the dfs. in phases 9 and 10 you can see how the old tourist pushes the new tourist upwards, while the old tourist stays in the bottom-left corner for now.  
  
the bottom two rows (phases 13-24) show the tourist resting in the top-left corner while the other three butterflies rearrange themselves.  
  
the fflies act as mere helpers for the bflies - they're only spinning freely the whole time.  
  
short loop = 24, long loop = 96. the four bflies change their roles (tourist, tourist-to-come, vortex) on every short loop.

one more note: all the newly found dfs have some flies which are just freely spinning and act as mere helpers for the other flies. consequently, the short loop of these dfs is always a multiple of 4.   
  
so  Arno 's static-f7 discovery (short loop 7) is still the only dfs with "full interaction", i.e. each fly takes and gives influence during a long loop! :d
