dedicated macro lenses have one thing over all other solutions: they have practically no distortion and they focus on a flat field. If your idea of macro is stamps then by all means you must use a dedicated macro lens if you want excellent results. For bugs and critters the primary thing is a long focal length so as to not scare the critters. For that both extension tubes and closeup filters work very well. For a long lens the closeup filter is going to give you better results as an extension tube on a long lens has much less "effect" than it does on a shorter lens.
here is an example of a 67mm Marumi closeup lens on a DA* 60-250mm: https://www.flickr.com/photos/mjsfoto1956/18256240043/
YMMV
