All of my Costa Rica photos were taken with a Sony FE 90mm f/2.8 Macro. 95% of the spider/insect/scorpion/opiliones photos were taken at night in the dark, where a longer lens may make it difficult to illuminate and track. I have occasional used my 70-200mm as a Macro with great results, but it usually works better with larger subjects. The longer focal lengths really helps with butterfly's and humming birds photos! I don't have an extender, but I would like to try one of these in the future.
The 90mm is a good walk around lens, razor sharp and flat field from f/4 thru f/11 and still very good at f/16 - - - great for macro where you have a very shallow DOF at close range.
