I'd go with Alan, not only cause he very well may be the most powerful lantern, but because he's not even really a Green Lantern like the others, and for some reason I like him more because of it.
What do you mean "used material around him"? It's possible he used some surrounding plant life or whatever (though that would pre suppose that an ALIEN PLANET had exactly the same type of wood as that of earth) but he still created them.
The story set up was that the Golden Age GL and Flash were going interstellar camping with the Silver Age GL and Flash. Hal's ring had picked out an ideal planet, but Alan Scott's ring jammed Hal's and instead directed them to another. See, Alan didn't really like Hal. He didn't respect him, so he wanted to take him somewhere to test him. When they get there, Alan creates a series of mishaps that Hal and Barry have to get out of using teamwork and ingenuity.
Hal figures out what Alan is doing, what he's done, and the above scene is him getting revenge. He creates the wooden bugs to mess with Alan's weakness. Hal's ring doesn't 'affect' them because he isn't actually trying to affect them...that's WHY you can see Alan wondering in that scan..."Why doesn't your ring work..?"...he's figuring out that Hal has figured HIM out.
So...yeah. Hal created that swarm, and you'd have to have serious, serious mental handicaps not to have been able to suss that out after having read the actual story.

How did Hal create wood with his ring? Was he using wooden plantlife from his environment or something, cause I had no idea he could simply conjure up any material he imagines......sounds like a whole new power.
He may have used wood from the environment, he may not have.
But if he created them out of thin air, it would be matter manipulation (air molecules into wood molecules), and that's a power that Hal has very often shown.
Well, seeing as how I asked a legitimate question about said instance because I admitted I had yet to read the actual story or see the panel it was shown in, way to get worked about it.
It would have been better if perhaps a scan was shown revealing that Hal had indeed explicitly made the wooden bugs, but as it was, the scan just shows the wooden bugs attacking the group with next to no mention or even allusion that Hal had done so anyway in the first place.
