German/Indian/Irish My best guess.
I was sold when I was a baby my dad was German hence the name.

I asked because the Dutch national anthem (Wilhelmus van Nassouwe) has the line "..of German blood"

nice close up, on a techincal aspect I wonder if f/27 was necessary, f/16 should have been enough and might have get you better results in terms of sharpness ..

You're probably right, Guillaume, but at the time I was using a manual only flash and had to adjust the aperture to match the light (I was too lazy to change the flash output on the Metz!). Now I use a iTTL capable flash and adjust the flash compensation on the camera instead. On my old MicroNikkor I don't see much difference in sharpness from f/11 to f/22 in macro mode though. At 1:1 the lens is closer to a 60mm and gets down to f/54!

wow f/54 !!! jeez never heard about closing that much

It's actually the same aperture as f/22. Thehole did not get any smaller but since the lens gets longer physically but shorter in theory (closer to 60mm), the camera tells me it's f/54!

I cannot say I'm familiar with such a unique spider as this... (then again, what spider--despite my disgust with the creatures--is not completely unigue and beautiful in a way all of its own?) This has got to be one of the more interesting, aesthetically specimins I've seen.
I like the way it's 'hugging' the stem. It looks so secure, latched on like that.

Incredible shot! I have tried to get a good pic of these guys and haven't been able to - my equipment is just not good enough. Wonderful capture (and I hate spiders too!)

That thing is going to haunt my dreams for the rest of my life... I love "bugs" including spiders, but I am terrified of spiders! but I was so curious about the pic, and now... :: le sigh :: I will be haunted in my dreams.
I do have a qustion though... where do those reside and are they venomous?
