Our drain pipes are under ground except where they empty out in the grass and they are covered with a plastic grate. I don't think you will get much of a bug problen because the opening with standing water is only 4" around and more important the pipe is "flushed" couple of days when it rains. Also a pipe full of water will discourage the local critters from taking up residence in the pipe.
