105mm macro

It's rare that I see a bug in my house in the middle of winter but every now and then, a tiny, bitsy household spider will creep up out from the dark hideout it lives in.  This one spider was crawling in my bathroom the other day.  I was about to leave for work but had to take a few minutes to make use of my 105mm f/2.8 AFD lens.  I was lucky enough it was already mounted on my D90.

Here, I shot it at f/32, ISO1600, with bounce flash.

  1. Did you kill it after the shot? :-)

  2. Nah, I was too nice that day to kill it. :) With its legs stretched, I think it was about 15mm long. I used f/32 for the shot at about 15cm distance from the spider and the depth of field was very shallow. This had made shooting macro outdoors very difficult.

Invasion of What?

What are these bugs? I've never seen them before. I saw them at my parents' place the other day. Lots of them in soil or grassy areas.
