is it law to label the box something like live insects or live bugs when shipping?

Considering the Lacey Act's very broad definition of "wildlife", it'd seem that even boxes containing feeder roaches should be appropriately labeled. Assuming that it was shipped across state lines.

B. Lacey Act Prohibitions

1. Marking Offenses

The Lacey Act requires wildlife shipments traveling in interstate or foreign commerce to be accurately marked, but it addresses this issue in two separate subsections, [FN193] whose coverage is inconsistent and whose penalties are substantially different.

a. Failure to Plainly Mark or Label Containers of Fish or Wildlife

Section 3372(b) [FN194] prohibits the import, export, or transport in interstate commerce of any container of wildlife or fish that is not plainly marked, labeled, or tagged as required by the applicable regulations. [FN195] This section is notable for two reasons. First, violators of section 3372(b) are subject only to a civil fine of up to $250; no criminal sanction is prescribed. [FN196] Second, this section applies only to containers of fish and wildlife; neither the statute nor the applicable regulations contain any requirement that containers of plants be plainly marked, tagged, or labeled. [FN197]
Here's how it defines "wildlife".

2. Coverage of Fish, Wildlife, and Plants

The first step in analyzing a potential Lacey Act violation is to determine whether the wildlife, fish, or plant at issue is covered by the Act. The Act defines the terms "fish or wildlife" broadly:

(A)ny wild animal, whether alive or dead, including without limitation any wild mammal, bird, reptile, amphibian, fish, mollusk, crustacean, arthropod, coelenterate, or other invertebrate, whether or not bred, hatched, or born in captivity, and includes any part, product, egg or offspring thereof. [FN185]
