lens choice

[beegee]

I just bought a Nikon D80 SLR. I got a 70-300 and 18-55 lens. I want to be able to take macros and other close-ups of engravings, bees(fast shutter speed), birds, etc. I also need to take some action shots of our local college ice hockey action. I plan to buy an 18-200. But what is(are) a good lens for insect photography and really detailed close-ups?

I use a Nikon (AF MICRO NIKKOR 105mm 1:2.8 D) for macro and also portraits.
