Playing this round, I have become aware that if you take some random noun, add the word "beetle" to it, and then do a google, there's a less than zero chance you'll find a beetle with that name.

Isn't a noun considered an adjective when used in front of another noun in a formation like, eg. "auto mechanic"? "Auto" describes what kind of mechanic the person is.
In any case, yes, you are correct, I meant "more than zero". Noticed my error after the time-limit for edits had expired. Thank you for pointing that out.
Sorry to spoil the fun, but the rules clearly state: alliteration of an adjective and a noun. Thus we need both, and both starting with the same letter.
The noun itself, as we have found, may occasionally need to be a compound noun, i.e. more than one word, such as 'gorgeous German shepherd' (e.g. for canines) if there is no appropriate one-word noun available. [/Friendly Threadstarter Reminder]
I shall thus suggest for U - with next letter being V:

(Another cheat, to get past the x!)
And now - insects.
And less than zero chance? Not greater than zero?

ETA: reading @stetson's comment about beetles made me check whether zebra beetle would work. Sure enough, it would have! So, here's a bonus:
