In some quarters photography itself isn't fully accepted as art. Many consider all representational art forms as second class. Additionally, the "See bug; spray Raid" mentality is still much more pervasive than I once thought.

Not only have the new macro lenses been great leaps forward, but the ability for most point and shoots to be able to focus on a subject often within 1 cm of the lens has opened closeup photography to the masses.

Some people are turned off by the very aggressive looks of insect, others just discover, as much as me the beauty of the small world of insects. Add some insight from movies like "Antz", "A bugs life" and you'll get many people interested. From the insect photos I put on my blog and the reactions I had from friends, I totally agree with you.
