How it works
が (subject) points out 虫 (bug) as the subject of the feeling. 怖い (scary) is an i-adjective doing the work of the whole predicate — no separate verb needed. The final の (?) is a soft spoken question marker, gentler and more curious than か (question), often used when checking in on someone.
