This list has numerous multiple listings, and is in no particular order. 174.115.100.93 (talk) 05:01, 6 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Maybe the list should be alphabetized (with non-latin-text names sorted according to their transliteration). But there are so many of them, I don't feel I have the authority to make that kind of change without prior discussion. Tonymec (talk) 16:18, 6 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]
I think the list should be ordered by meanings:
Bug/beetle
Turtle/tortoise
Bubble
Frog
Cockroach
Other
Also, the article should mention that the "bug" and "beetle" label originated in the US. "Beetle", as used for the German "people's car" and its look, was coined in the The New York Times article German car for masses, dated July 3, 1938. (source: [1]) The term "bug" was coined by US marketing in the 1950s. German VW did not use the term Käfer up until 1968 (source: Der Tag, an dem der Käfer Mexikaner wird ("The day the Bug turned Mexican"), in Wolfsburger Nachrichten, January 19, 2018). --2003:EF:1706:3235:D888:8897:EE52:C6D5 (talk) 02:57, 5 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]
