Welcome to the forums :)

i see you have very sensibly posted your question in the right section and have some replies already. The 'in flight' bit is the difficult one. A DSLR will do it but you will need a macro lens that costs nearly as much as the camera and probably a flash gun too. I leave the detailed replies to others.

Also look in the macro section of the site and you will see how good those giving the advice are!
