Not macro photography but looks like a great thread for insects - had the camera on my belt when I saw this guy flitting round a variegated lacebark tree at the farm yesterday - about 2m range
I don’t usually take much notice of butterflies - but when you see them like this - they are lovely creatures

What lens(es) are you using for macro? Im looking at a Nikon 7200 and trying to find a lens to start with, 100mm seems the minimum?
"I do not wish to be a pawn or canon fodder on the whims of MY Government"
I'm using a cheap 50mm f1.8 with a $10 reverse adaptor, good for macro on a budget but not as versatile/flexible and takes a bit of practice/experimenting to get good results as its full manual control.
Have heard the Nikon 105mm is fantastic but expensive, Tamron 60mm and 90mm and Tokina have good reputation at a lower price, Nikon 85mm good too. Nikon 40mm and 60mm good optics but working distance probably too short to get many insects without spooking them.
They'll all give about the same maximum magnification (1:1 ie a ~25mm long object will fill the frame on a D7200), but the shorter focal length lenses have to get closer to the subject to do it.
Necrothread instead of starting a new one... I'm still sporadically taking insect photos!

My missus is into macro photography big time. Images available at index.html. The passion is such that she stills heads into the bush solo on her crutches.
