Pentax will give you weather sealed options for most of what you want to do.
The macro insect world needs a lens in the 100mm range - Pentax's are great, but there are other options from Tamron, Sigma, and the other camera manufacturers so that's a wash.
Long zoom? Pentax is a little behind the curve here but the relatively inexpensive 55-300 is now WR, which increases its usefulness. The lenses like 60-250 and the Nikon or Canon equivalents are big and heavy - remember speed has its price. Lenses like the DA300mm are much more portable.
Pentax will give you the tools you want, so will the others. I think Canon is falling behind on its sensor technology, but I'm not quite as familiar with the 7D. For most work FF won't be a huge advantage, but potentially it could help with some applications. I would personally get the Pentax K3II for its built-in GPS and major advancements over my K5. Eventually...
