Best types to use against Fire/Bug

Fire/Bug and Bug/Fire are the same typing: in battle the order of a Pokémon's two types makes no difference, so a Bug/Fire search lands on this page too.
Going the other way, Fire and Bug moves between them hit Grass, Ice, Psychic, Bug, Dark and Steel super effectively, but Fire takes reduced or no damage from both.
