Slapperfish's name Abdomaw is definitely my favorite so far. It has a nice flow while still being easy to discern its origin, and it really gets to the core of what CAP28 is. Emphasizes Bug over Dragon too.
I also like Zetasniper's Drakannon and Zneon's Dracoxide. While they do emphasize Dragon over Bug, they sound awesome and flow very well.
pokexchespin's Carabdomen is also a clever name, though it does take some explanation.
Here are a few other ideas of mine:
WIP
Abdoblast
Abdomen + Blast
May change spelling to Abdublast so the middle doesn't get mispronounced as "doe"
Fumifang
Fume + Fang
Drakdumen
Draconic/Drake + Abdomen
My earlier idea.

Not as sold on my first WIP as I originally was :/

Bombadare
Bomba from bombadier beetles, but replace the end with “Dare,” an act of courage or strength. I feel like that fits the dragon element of the typing without alluding TOO directly. I’ll fix the formatting and elaborate more when I’m am at my computer next, my phone won’t let me bold for some reason.

Zillade
Zilla + Fusillade
Pronounced: zuh-laad
I think the tail and colour scheme looks very much like 1998's Godzilla, and as such wanted to try one that referenced it.

Fumogen
Fumes + Pathogen
Fyoom-oh-jen
Fumes are gasses, and pathogens can be spread by pests!

Draceetle
Draconic + Beetle
Pronounced: drah-kee-dull
Fairly simple, but i like how it refers to both aspects of the Bug-Dragon design.

Drazaris
Pronounced: Dra-ZAW-ris
It's a combination of Dragon, to reference its Dragon typing, Ozaenini, yet another taxonomical tribe of bombardier beetles and the latin expression Cavum Oris, which is used to refer to the mouth orifice and, in this case, to 28's tail maw.

Mockjaw
A combination of "Mock" + "Lockjaw".
Pronounced: "MOCK-jaw"
Its a really easy name to say and understand. It has a big jaw that is spewing chemical gas, and lockjaw is a toxin-related infection that is mouth-related (causes jaw contraction). Lockjaw can be given by insect bites. And the "mock jaw" aspect refers to it being a fake mouth.

Drargon
A combination of "Dragon" and "argon", a famously neutral gas.
Pronounced: "DRAR-gone"
Neutralizing Gas is this Pokemon's most notable feature, so much so that it's more important than the typing itself. "Argon" is close in spelling to dragon to begin with, so Drargon is easy to pronounce, natural, and simple.

Drazaris
Dragon + Ozaenini (a taxonomical tribe of bombardier beetles) + Cavum Oris (oral cavity in Latin)
Pronounced: "Dra-ZAH-ris"
While the Dragon part is self-explanatory, Ozaenini refers to CAP28's origin as a bombardier beetle, while Cavum Oris refers to its tail maw. It's an odd name, but it's one that's got a nice flow to it.

Bombaustic
Bombadier/Bombastic + Caustic
Pronounced: bom-boss-tik
Bomb's mostly associated with Bombadier. Bombastic is an adjective describing someone whos "gaseous" or "big-headed," so theres a stretched connection. Caustic burn is chemical burn.

Draceetle
Draconic + Beetle
Pronounced drah-kee-tull
Simple mix between the two main elements of the design, while it does bring out the dragon part first, i found it more fitting than the opposite.
