How to get RigidBodies to LookAt player, while also moving around the surface of a cylinder?

These two scripts (first attached to the cylinder, or tree, and the second to the Rigidbodies, or bugs) control the gravity of the bugs around the tree.

Attached to tree:

 public class TreeGravityScript : MonoBehaviour {
 
     public float gravity = -12;
     private Transform cylinderTransform;
     private Vector3 cylinderAxis = new Vector3(0, -4, 0);
     public Transform target;
 
     void Start()
     {
         cylinderTransform = transform;      
     }
    
     public void AttractBug(Transform characterTransform)
     {
         Vector3 gravityUp = Vector3.ProjectOnPlane(characterTransform.position - cylinderTransform.position, cylinderAxis);
         Vector3 localUp = characterTransform.up;
 
         characterTransform.GetComponent<Rigidbody>().AddForce(gravityUp * gravity);
 
         Quaternion targetRotation = Quaternion.FromToRotation(localUp, gravityUp) * characterTransform.rotation;
         characterTransform.rotation = Quaternion.Slerp(characterTransform.rotation, targetRotation, 50f * Time.deltaTime);
 
     }
 }

Attached to bug:

 public class BugGravityBody : MonoBehaviour {
 
     public TreeGravityScript attractorPlanet;
     private Transform characterTransform;
     public Transform target;
 
     void Start()
     {
         GetComponent<Rigidbody>().useGravity = false;
         GetComponent<Rigidbody>().constraints = RigidbodyConstraints.FreezeRotation;
 
         characterTransform = transform;
     }
 
     void FixedUpdate()
     {
         if (attractorPlanet)
         {
             attractorPlanet.AttractBug(characterTransform);
 
 
         }
     }
 }

A simple Vector3.MoveTowards code in a separate script attached to the Bugs controls their movement towards the player. This is what the culmination of these scripts look like:

My problem is getting the bugs to also face towards, and look at, the player while still correctly moving around the tree. (Transform.LookAt does not work, and x-y-z constraints can't be added since movement around the cylinder changes all of these values). Any help would be greatly appreciated!
