Typically, the Animal Lover archetype will gloss over bugs' status as animals, so it's often expected that only a bug will be a friend to a bug. Not always, though. A character that is a Friend to Bugs adores even (or perhaps especially!) the insects, like a pet owner adores any other pet. Because this involves being affectionate toward creepy-crawlies, the unstoppable force of the stereotype that women hate any insect other than butterflies meets the immovable object of the expectation that guys aren't affectionate toward animals. The result is that this trope tends to be gender-neutral but rare. Male examples often fall under Boys Like Creepy Critters. They may or may not be able to control the bugs to aid them. Not to be confused with Beetle Maniac and/or Bug Catching, which explicitly describe interest and collection but not necessarily endearment. Also not to be confused for being friends with a certain cartoon rabbit. If the bug dies, it's usually played for laughs in a Black Comedy Pet Death. |

The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess has 10 year old Agitha, the self appointed princess of the "Insect Kingdom". If the player chooses, Link can embark on a sidequest to find the 24 golden bugs for Agitha's ball. She squees over each one you bring to her and rewards you accordingly. She rewards you for the first bug by giving you the Adult's Wallet, which allows you to carry up to 600 rupees. For every bug after that, she bestows you with 50 rupees as, "compensation for your efforts" and 100 for each matched pair. The final reward, for successfully escorting all 24 to her castle, is the Giant's Wallet, which can hold 1000 rupees, after which, you are made an "honorary member" of her kingdom. If you try to leave her "castle" without giving her all the bugs you're carrying (perhaps because you've got no more room in your wallet) she'll menacingly growl, "I know you have bugs" as you go. | |

In Worm, Taylor initially finds bugs as creepy as most 15-year-olds would, despite having a bug-controlling superpower, but the intensity of her first months in costume working with bugs on a daily basis leaves her finding their presence comforting, instead. Indeed, a few months into making active use of her powers and she's frequently wearing a writhing layer of bugs all over her body, including her face, which tends to freak other people out pretty badly. | |

In Danganronpa V3: Killing Harmony, Gonta Gokuhara, the Ultimate Entomologist, has shown a massive love for bugs ever since he was young, but at one point he got lost in the forest while bug-catching. Luckily, a family of wolves (which turns out to be a lie, he was actually raised by dinosaurmen) came to his rescue and took him in, even teaching him how to communicate with animals, bugs included. Now a teenager, Gonta still shows a massive passion for bugs and can become quite intense whenever the subject is brought up. | |

Forensic entomologist Jack Hodgins from Bones sure loves his bugs. This is probably best exemplified by the episode where a worm lays an egg in his neck; instead of getting it removed like most people would, Hodgins is so honored to be a part of the bug's life cycle that he voluntarily hosts a parasite for weeks, culminating in what is essentially a Screaming Birth. It's an interesting episode. | |

After spending an entire episode looking for the killer of a famous chef in CSI: NY, it was discovered that the murderer was a sous chef who did it...to prevent the chef from killing a cockroach that had wandered into the kitchen and obviously was a health hazard. A cockroach that was covered in gold plating and had a very valuable emerald glued to its back (it was the pet of an eccentric model who lost it), but a roach nevertheless, and the sous chef only cared about its life and not the baubles. Detective Messer, who has to hear to the man's gleeful Motive Rant about how roaches are awesome, can only drawl out a disbelieving "you killed a man...over a cockroach?" | |

One shot Darkwing Duck villain Lilliput had a device he could use to talk to ants, and used them as his accomplices. While he yelled at them occasionally for doing dumb things (like stealing a hamburger during a heist, slowing them down) he was quick to apologize later, so this Trope clearly fits. | |

Sarah Zellaby in InCryptid is friendly to at least one bug, Greg the Giant Spider (who she telepathically tamed). She won't let anyone harm him, and despite his simple mind, he feels likewise about her. At the end of the book, a doctor calls him her "emotional support animal".note It's worth noting that Sarah herself is frequently mentioned to be physiologically similar to a wasp, though she appears completely human. | |

Pathfinder contains a few options for these. The Vermin Heart feat allows druids and rangers to use their abilities that normally only work on animals to work on vermin and the Blight Druid archetype trades the druids ability to befriend the cute and cuddly creatures of the forest with bugs and skeletons. | |

It's noted in Galaxy of Fear: The Swarm that some S'krrr worship drog beetles as their closest living relatives. One of them, Vroon, makes it his mission to kill the birdlike animals that eat drogs and can communicate with small swarms of them using wingsong. Doesn't stop him from being Eaten Alive by a larger swarm. | |

CSI-verse: Gil Grissom of CSI has a pet cockroach, and in one episode he takes it to an entomologist convention to participate in "roach races." After spending an entire episode looking for the killer of a famous chef in CSI: NY, it was discovered that the murderer was a sous chef who did it...to prevent the chef from killing a cockroach that had wandered into the kitchen and obviously was a health hazard. A cockroach that was covered in gold plating and had a very valuable emerald glued to its back (it was the pet of an eccentric model who lost it), but a roach nevertheless, and the sous chef only cared about its life and not the baubles. Detective Messer, who has to hear to the man's gleeful Motive Rant about how roaches are awesome, can only drawl out a disbelieving "you killed a man...over a cockroach?" |

The Legend of Zelda: The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess has 10 year old Agitha, the self appointed princess of the "Insect Kingdom". If the player chooses, Link can embark on a sidequest to find the 24 golden bugs for Agitha's ball. She squees over each one you bring to her and rewards you accordingly. She rewards you for the first bug by giving you the Adult's Wallet, which allows you to carry up to 600 rupees. For every bug after that, she bestows you with 50 rupees as, "compensation for your efforts" and 100 for each matched pair. The final reward, for successfully escorting all 24 to her castle, is the Giant's Wallet, which can hold 1000 rupees, after which, you are made an "honorary member" of her kingdom. If you try to leave her "castle" without giving her all the bugs you're carrying (perhaps because you've got no more room in your wallet) she'll menacingly growl, "I know you have bugs" as you go. The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword: Beedle is an insect lover in this game (it was never specified in his prior appearances whether or not he was already an enthusiast on the matter back then). He not only sells you a Bug Net to capture insects, but also a special Medal to track their locations. At one point uyou have to find his missing pet beetle. Hyrule Warriors: Agitha fights with massive golden bugs, learned to pick locks from termites, fights the Dark Sorceress because she thought Cia was after her insects, and will go on the offensive in Adventure Mode on the grounds that you stepped on an ant. |

Legosi of Beastars has an affinity for insects, which shows how much of a Gentle Giant he is. He is seen picking up bugs and talking to them and keeping some in a terrarium his room. A important moment in his character development is when, in order to gain an understanding of Tem's murderer and become stronger, he consumes a live insect larvae and speaks with the insect's spirit. This moment is treated as him losing his virginity, and it may have (it is unclear if this was actually real) given him the ability to turn into a swarm of moths. | |

Downplayed but present in Final Fantasy IX. While trying to go undercover in Doma, Princess Garnet gently picks up an oglop without any revulsion, and only pretends to be freaked out after someone tells her that most girls hate bugs. It probably helped that her beloved uncle was turned into a sentient oglop by his scorned wife for some time. | |

Danganronpa: In Ultra Despair Girls, it was revealed that that Touko Fukawa from the first game has a pet stinkbug by the name of Kameko. Prior to Komaru, Kameko was Fukawa's only friend she ever had. Fukawa believed that Kameko is a special stinkbug able to understand her feelings; the only one who understands how it's like to be hated for how one smells, and that the bond between her and Kameko is stronger than any bond there ever was before between a human and an insect. Fukawa also affectionately calls Kameko her "friendsect". In Danganronpa V3: Killing Harmony, Gonta Gokuhara, the Ultimate Entomologist, has shown a massive love for bugs ever since he was young, but at one point he got lost in the forest while bug-catching. Luckily, a family of wolves (which turns out to be a lie, he was actually raised by dinosaurmen) came to his rescue and took him in, even teaching him how to communicate with animals, bugs included. Now a teenager, Gonta still shows a massive passion for bugs and can become quite intense whenever the subject is brought up. |

In Pikmin 2, Louie has a familiarity with bugs from playing with them as a child, and this extends to the alien insects on the Pikmin planet which can be much bigger than he is. It doesn't stop him from trying to eat them, though. Following the true final boss battle with the Titan Dweevil, a large spider, both Olimar and the Hocotate Ship theorize that Louie may have been controlling it himself. He even insists that his proper title is the "King of Bugs". | |

The Pokémon series includes many examples. Heck, Satoshi Tajiri based the entire concept of Pokémon on catching bugs as a child and making them fight with his friends' bugs, so it's only natural that the series is full of bugs and bug trainers. The Bug Catcher and Bug Maniac trainer classes are the most common examples. Bugsy, the Azalea Town Gym Leader in Pokémon Gold and Silver, is an avid fan and researcher of Bug-type Pokémon who hopes to one day become an authority on the subject. His title is even "The Walking Bug Pokémon Encyclopedia". Naturally, he specializes in Bug-type Pokémon. There are plenty of other characters like this to lesser extents in the series, including the Sinnoh Elite Four member Aaron and Unova Gym Leader Burgh. The player can be one if they choose to have a team full of Bug-types. It's even more impactful in the later games where you can feed and play with your party of giant bugs. |

In a stark contrast to her peers, Gawr Gura of hololive does not find bugs inherently creepy or gross. Among other things, she has mentioned that the grub she found when shucking corn in her youth seem like they're just chilling, has told Kiara that she's looking to get a pet tarantula, and she doesn't dislike cockroaches though she understands the worry of them being potential disease vectors. | |

Jonathan Landers in Mike Cook's Scorpions (2016). As a child, he tormented insects (burning ants with a magnifying glass in particular), but now he feels guilty about it. He's made an unspoken pact to be The Atoner and never harm another bug again, not even Scary Scorpions; the book begins with him showing kindness to a scorpion. Giant scorpions are another matter... | |

One of Spider-Man's less formidable enemies was Buck Mitty, aka the Humbug. Originally an entomologist at Empire State University, he tried in vain to convince the rest of the Science Department of the value insects had to humans (he perceived more of a value than they did) only for his funding to be cut off. Desperate to continue his research and prove his theories, he cobbled together a sonic weapon system that amplified the sounds of insects into destructive beams, but wasn't much of a crook. (In his first attempt, he tried to steal an armored car full of black pearls, only to blow the tires and leave him with no way to transport them. The second time, he tried to rob ESU, and broke into the girls' locker room by mistake. When he took a woman hostage, Spidey actually convinced him to give up by threatening to smash a specimen jar full of roaches.) He later acquired actual superhuman powers due to a deal with some mutated ants, but ironically, when he tried to make a Heel–Face Turn after Civil War (2006), it turned out those ants were using him as a Trojan Horse to get at the Brood Queen, their Arch-Enemy. Dying and in agony, the martial arts hero Shang-Chi slew him as a Mercy Kill. | |

Blathers is a pretty infamous aversion in Animal Crossing (although he still begrudgingly accepts and cares for them out of professional courtesy), but all of the available villagers will happily accept an insect that you offer them as a gift, and the player is obviously free to adopt any they catch as pets. Flick in Animal Crossing: New Horizons is a straight example, buying your bugs to study them for his art commissions. This was implied to put a strain on his relationship with his father Nat (who ate any bugs that were given to him). |

My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic: Fluttershy refers to a parasprite as "the cutest thing ever," and everyone else except Pinkie seems to find them quite cute as well. note They are, of course, as virtually everything in this show is Ugly Cute at worst. This ends up turning into a deconstruction: Fluttershy can't tear herself away from the parasprites even after they reveal themselves to be a Horde of Alien Locusts. Fluttershy shows a general fondness for bees, spiders, and, of course, butterflies. In "May the Best Pet Win", ladybugs, butterflies, crickets, and wasps are among the many species of pet Fluttershy recommended for Rainbow Dash; and Rainbow Dash herself actually considered adopting the wasp or butterfly. In the toys, many ponies are accompanied by animal friends, some of whom are bugs. Ponies with toys that are accompanied by bug friends include Applejack, Cheerilee, Daisy Dreams, Fluttershy, Honeybuzz, Rainbow Dash, and Rarity. Granny Smith is friendly to bees, even giving them names, bringing flowers for them, and letting them swarm around/on her before getting their honey. Being friendly to the bees is an integral part of making Zap Apple Jam, as it will make their honey sweeter when mixed in with the Zap Apples. |

In Nausicaä of the Valley of the Wind, Nausicaä is sympathetic toward the giant insects of the poisonous forest, particularly the dinosaur-sized ohmu. She even attempted to keep a tiny ohmu as a pet as a small child, though eventually the adults found it. One of the inspirations for Nausicaä was an old Japanese tale, The Lady Who Loved Insects. | |
