The longer the focal length of the macro the greater the distance from the front of the lens to your subject, therefor small insects will not be scared away.

I am looking at 105 macro and trying to find an 85 macro wondering which you all think works best or does a 24 mm - 85 mm work for macro shooting, or would a set of the tube extensions work so that I could turn almost any of my lenses into macro thanks in advance for any help.
