I have a nikon d5000. I want to buy a lens that i can use for very up close photography. For insects and flowers for example. I'm not sure which one would be the right lens for these types of pictures.

They are called macro lenses and come in a variety of focal lengths. The longer the lens the further away from the subject you will be when shooting 1:1 image to subject ratio images.

Here are the lenses:

Of the lenses listed, you will probably want to buy one of the AF-S lenses to retain auto-focus, however once you start shooting at image to subject ratios of 1:4 or closer, you will want to be in the manual focus mode.
