If your grasshopper is less than an inch long, then your photo is a macro; if longer than an inch, it is a close-up photo.
Your beetle is definitely a macro.
I would like to suggest that in the future, check the box labeled "(store original)", so we can enlarge to appreciate detail.

Thanks for the help Nikonian.
The grasshopper was pretty small, not to mention fast! Little "hoppers" all over going crazy..driving me crazy to get a picture! LOL

With a little cropping, your grasshopper ain't half bad! What was approximate length of this critter?

I'm using a Nikon D90 and the lens is the Tamron 60mm.

Excellent camera (I use one) and your Tamron 60-mm macro will allow you to get quite close to your subject.I'm using a Nikon D90 and the lens is the Tamron 60mm.
Your D90 APS-C sensor is 23.6-mm x 15.8-mm. 1-inch = 25.4-mm, which is slightly longer than the width of your sensor.
A 1:1 (life-size) macro photo of a 17-mm diameter US dime will shave-off a bit of top & bottom edges of coin. A 24-mm US quarter is barley wider than D90 23.6-mm sensor. A photo of both coins, taken at 1:1, looks like photo #1.
You 60-mm macro lens might be able to get closer. Follow this exorcize: http://www.uglyhedgehog.com/t-36370-1.html
