Insect catching is one of many activities available. Over more than 50 kinds of bugs can be captured with bug net, documented, and donated to the museum. This past-time was added to the game due to the Kickstarter campaign successfully meeting one of its early stretch goals, Stretch goal: bug catching unlocked!

Insect spawns

Insects spawn on the land area only. Some insects may spawn all day, others spawn only during daytime (until 18:00) or at night (after 18:00). Some insects also spawn in specific season or weather. Additionally, some insects are rarer than others, with rare insects appearing less frequently than more common ones. The rarity distribution is as follows:

  • 64% for a common insect
  • 25% for an uncommon
  • 7% for a rare
  • 3% for a super rare
  • 1% for a legendary

The island's map is divided into separate areas. The number of insect spawns listed is per half-day (the half before 18:00 and the half after). The location is as follows:

Uses of insects

Every insect the player catches can be donated to the museum to be displayed. Each insect donated earns the player 3 Town Rank points.

Insects can also be shipped or sold in Beach Shack. They can also be gifted but most characters dislike them, with the exception for Eleanor that likes all insects and loves several of them.

Cooking

Three cooking recipes can be made with insects: one with any insect and two with two particular types.
