Welcome, Kathy!
Seems Lama got the basics covered. As for the lenses, not only will the links
provided give you lots of reading material, you're likely to get some 435,897
varied opinions from the members of this list. And that's on a slow day.
Good start with the new gear. You do know you need an array of fine
Olympus/Zuiko macro gear to take pics of all those tropicals, don't 'cha? :-)

Good evening everyone-
I subscribed to the list to get more information about my 24 year
crush-the OM series.
My first 35mm was a 1979 OM-1, a high school graduation gift. Used it
with a Zuiko 50mm 1.8 for years. Battery on/off lever broke. (couldn't find
a repair place) Got Olympus Stylus Zoom 115. Got published using it. Got
OM-2, Sigma APO 70-210 3.5, Zuiko 50mm 1.4. Sunday, bought Zuiko 28mm 2.8.
(also a set of front-mount close up lenses)
I'm just getting back into real photography. I'm curious to read what
the list thinks are the best Zuiko lenses (lens-test wise) as well which
ones serve best. I've visited the websites, now I want opinions from the
true believers.
I'm probably selling the Sigma eventually and getting Olympus. I love
fast lenses but the weight is a bit annoying.
Also, are the 50mm 1.4s with serial # over 1,100,000 really better (that
is, no yellowing?)
Thanks in advance-
KathyD
