Chance the Rapper was brought on board The Lion King by Donald Glover as a “nostalgia consultant” – mostly, it seems, because he has been obsessed with the original cartoon since he was a kid. (Plus it got him a small speaking role in the film.)

Ray Mendez provided 5,000 cockroaches for the 1996 comedy Joe’s Apartment and 20,000 of the insects for the Death by Roaches scene in the 1982 horror film Creepshow. (He also did moths for The Silence of the Lambs.)

 

But the guru of insect wrangling is probably Steven Kutcher, normally credited as entomology consultant, who has worked on everything from Jurassic Park and Spider-Man to James and the Giant Peach.
