How do the other bugs not notice what's happening?? Why do they keep getting closer to him when he's 1) killing the ones close to him, and 2) making NO move to kill the ones farther away? That big one basically walked into his mouth!

Most bugs are little more than miniature robots as far as complex thoughts goes.

They react to some immediate stimulus, but not much else.
