Macro + P&S cameras? (2 Viewers)

I don't have the money
Being the skivvy I am I do not tend to spend much on the way of wildlife photography.

At this very moment I am using a macro lens from ebay, from hong kong that cost me £20 (rounded up) and this can give me acceptable results (see attached below) but I have always wanted to see more, dive into the invertebrate world and am wondering if this would be possible with anything being better than what I have now that works with my little Nikon P5100.

I have come across the Raynox DCR-250 but it sounds too good to able to fit on my nikon.

I have a Jackar universal adapter, which is a 37mm thread, I also have the Nikon UR-E20 which erm..I can't find the thread size for it. I am wondering from all you knowledgeable types out there if you have come across something I haven't

Thanks in advance if this post isn't completely moronic
