Pro-Tips for Bug Catching

🚶 Sneak Approach: Hold down the crouch button to slow your movement speed. This decreases the noise you make and prevents spooking rare insects.
🕸️ Net Upgrades: Craft the Iron Net as soon as you reach Level 8 in the hobby. It increases the catching radius, allowing you to net fast-moving targets like dragonflies.
🧪 Insect Attractor Perfume: Massimo sells Bug Perfume at the tavern. Using it increases the spawn rate of rare beetles around your location for 10 minutes.
