Awkwafina’s Unexpected Journey into the Bug World

Known for her humor and unique voice, Awkwafina admits she never imagined she’d be “the voice of the bug world.” But after working on the series, she found a newfound appreciation for these tiny creatures.

“I didn’t think that was a part of my destiny necessarily when I was young,” she joked. “But it is an honor to voice the bug world, which I have learned so much about through this series.”

And there’s a lot to learn! The show explores the intense, dramatic, and even romantic lives of bugs—yes, bugs have love stories too!


The Coolest and Grossest Bug Moments

When asked about her favorite bug in the series, Awkwafina had a couple of top picks.

“The stag beetle is super interesting just because of what they do to survive,” she said. But her childhood favorite? Fireflies! Learning more about them in A Real Bug’s Life was a treat.

Of course, the bug world isn’t all beauty and glow-ups. Awkwafina admitted that some moments in the series totally grossed her out, especially seeing how bugs create things out of, well, unexpected materials.

“The bug world is definitely an intense world,” she said. “Just how they make things, how they spin things using, you know… things you wouldn’t expect.”


If Bugs Were Fashion and TikTok Stars…

Ever wonder what bug would be the next red carpet trend? Awkwafina says she’d rock a cricket accessory, since they basically play music with their legs. And if bugs had their own TikTok, she thinks the peacock spider and fireflies would totally go viral!

But let’s not forget the hermit crabs, which she hilariously suggested would dominate with their “aesthetic life” videos—because, let’s be real, they do have a natural beach vibe going on.


Life Lessons from the Bug World to Hollywood

What do bugs and Hollywood have in common? More than you think! Awkwafina shared that one of the biggest lessons she’s learned from insects is that every creature has natural instincts to navigate the world and survive.

“You have to trust your own devices to navigate the world,” she said. “Whether that means being part of a community or doing your own thing like that little crab.”

Sounds like solid advice for anyone chasing their dreams—whether in entertainment, business, or just life in general!


Awkwafina’s Advice to Her Younger Self

If she could go back and give her teen self advice, what would she say? “Enjoy the present and don’t be too hard on yourself.”

A message we can all take to heart!
