I think her (and the caterpillar's) reaction is more from being rudely poked in the nose. In the bug's case, the antenna is the closest equivalent to a mammal's sniffer.
Except in the caterpillar's case, that's not the sniffer organ.
It's actually the Osmeterium, which secretes a really foul-smelling cocktail that discourages other animals from eating it. A close analogue to this incident would be tricking your friend to lick a Nintendo Switch game cartridge.

Hm, so that means her face is supposed to express disgust?
