How this list was compiled

A list of 103 bug and insect team names written by Wheel of Teams on 2026-10-03 and filed in five groups: ants and colonies, butterflies and moths, beetles and ladybugs, fireflies, dragonflies and other fliers, and bug puns for a class or a camp. Every name carries an insect or a word of its life. The names are our own suggestions; none was taken from a film, a cartoon, a band, a pest control company or a team, and any match is a coincidence. Spiders are not insects and are not on the list. The insect words were looked up on 2026-10-03 in seven English Wikipedia articles, text under CC BY-SA 4.0: Insect (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Insect), Ant (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ant), Beetle (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Beetle), Butterfly (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Butterfly), Moth (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moth), Firefly (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Firefly) and Dragonfly (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dragonfly).
