I use a 90mm macro and the working distance is good enough to get quite close without scaring them off, but you have to be patient. The 105mm is a perfect length lens so you should be fine.

I just bought nikkor micro 105mm f/2.8. Still yet to make use of it though :) Browsed the internet for a while , and I really didnt get any info on working distance. For 1:1 , how far can you go close to the object? Don't you think,If you get little closer while shooting an insect chances are more that it would run away? thanks again! Thanks for the reply Garry!

For instance with a 50mm macro you could be a few centimeters from the subject whereas a 180mm macro lens will give you a lot more room to work with. If you going closer than 1:1 then you will be getting very close to the subject so be careful that you don't damage the front of your lens by getting too close.

I used a Nikon Coolpix 4500 for a while which was really good. A lot of compact cameras are really good for macro. Indeed they can. I used a Nikon Coolpix 4500 for a while which was really good.
