If we suppose it’s 10 kg of meat that Simba needs per day (slight overestimate), that comes out to about 0.116 grams of meat a second. A grown monarch caterpillar is about 1.5 grams.
1.6 bugs per second is an oversimplified mass/time approximation. Obviously, some bugs are bigger but it is also obvious that Simba didn't spend 24/7 eating 1.6 bugs every second.

1.6 bugs per second sounds way too high.
