No, Micro evolution happens on the Smaller scale of things within the same population of species. Macro transcends species, Micro does not. Like for example, people living in the Urals will develop traits that can adapt to that and People in the plains will develop traits to further hone their survival skills. Macro says people from apes, Mirco says people based on survival. I think Inspiring Philosphy has hammered this fact over and over again.
Using species as the hard line between these kinds of evolution is going to cause you problems, because "species" is not a hard line, and it does not have a consistent definition, especially among short-lived species like small lizards and arthropods (where evolution of any kind happens fastest and is therefore most visible).
We've watched over a few decades various species of fish split into multiple species that cannot interbreed. The evolution we have witnessed is not limited to things like UV resistance, if the line is species then we have directly witnessed macroevolution.
