Best lens for photographing butterflies

Hi

I currently use a 70-200 zoom for butterflies but I can't get closer than about 5 feet for auto-focus to work. OK I get some reasonable shots but what would be the ideal lens to get in closer? I'm thinking maybe the Sigma 105mm or 150mm macro lenses would be a good choice? I don't have a huge budget so something under £300 would be ideal.
