Hey Folks, My wife is becoming increasingly interested in photography of flighty, skittish, and sometimes dangerous animals, such as butterflies, reptiles, and snakes. I realized that the ideal lens for her would be something like a 200 mm 1:1 macro. Even better would be if it were autofocus.

Barry, I would start with a 200mm and a set of extension tubes. This would get her close focus and some interesting pictures. Results can be suprisingly good! I've compared the A100/2.8 Macro and M100/2.8 w/tube on butterflies. The M100/2.8 w/tube is suprisingly good. I've also used an A300/4

Yes, I was about to suggest that. The 2x converter is commonly available on ebay at well under $100. You'll lose a couple of stops but, if you're using the lens well stopped down to maximize depth of field, that may not matter. I've got this exact combination fitted to my DS - works well.
