Bugs are like biological robots. In a sense we all are, but I doubt bugs have any sense of introspection or a way to contemplate their lot in life. It's not even clear whether they are capable of feeling pain or fear.

Do they even have DNA? They look so alien they must be silicon-based or something.

Insect brains are very tiny but they're a lot more efficient for their size than you might expect - they're like a computer with a really small amount of memory and storage but a crazy-high processor clock speed, whereas our own brains have a lot of storage space but operate on a far slower pace. The world would be perceived quite differently by an insect, but that doesn't mean that they lack meaningful perceptive ability.

wow! so does time go by more quickly for an insect? Or does it like slow down like how it is when a character runs really fast

I bet the world is completely transient to them.

They'd most likely perceive time as going by a lot slower, so compared to us their reactions and decision-making would be happening so fast that we can't keep up. Look at how quickly a mantis can pounce on its prey or a fly can skillfully maneuver around a flyswatter - they can think on a rudimentary level at a pace far in excess of what a human can consciously achieve.

Can Wriggle assume direct control over insect youkai?

Now, an insect is most likely incapable of introspection or feelings, and may not have any emotional state at all (which pretty much all chordates apparently do have at least to a basic level) - but social insects do seem to have a rudimentary language-like means of communication and the ability to plan ahead and coordinate action, which is fascinating.

Not exactly brains, but clusters of nerves that act pretty much like brains, so I've heard. Close enough.

Bugs might be, but other insects have DNA

Wow. Many insects have extremely short lifespans measured in days, but if hypothetically they were or somehow became conscious, then their short lives would feel like a rather long time to them, and would probably be filled with an insane amount of details. Details we humans find tiny and insignificant, but would be significant to them.

This strangely feels meaningful and yet... sad and meaningless.

On a more comical note: Imagine a bug telling you about when she went in the morning to prey on smaller bugs in the garden.

That sounds comfy, meeting the mantis in the garden every morning and talking to one another about the daily happenings.
