Catching routine
Check the time and weather, pick the right tool, approach slowly and always keep one inventory slot free for a surprise.
Sell smart
Keep your first catch for the Omnidex. After that, sell duplicates — but save a large Stellar specimen if you want it for the Omni-Gallery.
Field notes
The current English database lists 97 land creatures. This includes beetles, butterflies, moths, dragonflies, snails and a few non-insect land animals.
Equip the Insect Net, approach the creature slowly and swing when you are close enough. Some species are skittish and will fly away if you run at them.
Each species has its own active time, season, weather and habitat. Check the cards below; the chips show the conditions listed in the beta data.
Common bugs are a small income source; Rare and Stellar catches, especially large sizes, sell for much more. First-time catches also add to your Omnidex and Folio Score.
