Ahh ... definition of terms. What you've described I'd consider wildlife
photography, or, when shooting insects and small critter at close range,
close-up photography. I see nature photography as broader, more
environmentally encompassing, like landscapes, trees, rocks, scenics, and
the like.

OK. I see that as primarily defined by "landscape" photography and
agree with you on those terms.

Nature photography is such a different type of photography, Much more
methodical, careful, and, of course, a lot slower and more deliberate.
It can be but it is equally possible that you will be trying to make
focus on a rapidly moving subject, with a (comparitively) narrow DOF in
changing light, that needs some fill flash as it is a black organism on a
white background. With all the advantages of AF, AE, auto flash
compensation, etc., I have still not got a good picture of a Hummingbird
Hawk Moth. I wouldn't even try without them.
It's not all photographing sleeping carnivores in zoo enclosures.
