I would recommend getting a scale and weighing the kitten, which will help you assess its age by size and determine how much should be fed. You can read more about caring for orphaned kittens/how much to feed at https://www.petcoach.co/article/how-to-raise-orphan-kittens/ and https://www.petag.com/kitten-puppy-caregivers . As far as insects I am not sure what type of insects you are talking of, a photo may be helpful. For fleas we will sometimes bathe very carefully with dawn dish soap to kill fleas and comb them out, being careful to keep kitty warm and dry quickly so they don't lose body heat.
