No. IT focusses to 45 centimter and does a 1:5 at that distance. Better start saving for a macro lens

Not really. It does allow close-focusing to 1.5' and gives you a reproduction ration of 1:4 which is 1/4 life size. A true macro lens (Nikon calls them micro) will give you a reproduction ratio of 1:1 which is life size.

If you photograph a 12mm long caterpillar with the 18-105mm lens it will be 3mm long on your sensor. Use a real macro/micro lens and it will be 12mm long on your sensor.

I think you should go with Nikon 18-105mm f/3.5-5.6 AF-S DX VR ED Nikkor Lens for Nikon Digital SLR Cameras
This 5.8x zoom, designed exclusively for use with Nikon's DX-format, features Nikon's VR image stabilization and is perfect for portraits and action. The wide-ratio 5.8x zoom Compact, versatile and ideal for a broad range of shooting situations, ranging from interiors and landscapes to beautiful portraits--a perfect everyday zoom.
