✅ Quick Answers

How do you unlock Bug Catching?

What is the best weather for rare bugs?

Rainbow weather is a top window for rare butterflies and other rare spawns—plan routes around forecasts.

When do night insects appear?

Night insects like fireflies and moths appear after 6 PM. They're easier to spot in the dark and can be found near water, lights, or forest areas.

Requires: Hobby Expansion Ticket

At D.G. Level 6 you can choose a hobby such as Insect Catching; talk to the mentor and use the ticket to unlock.

💡 Bug Catching Tips

📚

Approach carefully (don't sprint)

Running can scare insects away. Walk or crouch when you enter a spawn area, then close the distance before you swing your net. This is the most important rule for consistent bug catching.

📚

Rainbow weather hunting

Rainbow weather is a premium farming window for rare butterflies. Rotate between your highest-density butterfly zones and reset by fast traveling if your route is empty. Some bugs like Golden Jewel Beetle and Rainbow Butterfly only spawn during rainbow weather.

📚

Night catching routes

After 6 PM, prioritize night insects such as moths and fireflies. Visibility is lower, so use predictable routes (forest edges, water lines, town lights). Fireflies are easier to spot near water sources.

📚

Profit strategy (sell duplicates)

Keep the first copy for collection progress, then sell duplicates—rare butterflies can provide strong gold spikes compared to common insects. Atlas Moth and Rainbow Butterfly are among the most valuable catches.

📚

Location-based farming

Different locations spawn different bugs. Flower fields are best for butterflies during daytime, forests have diverse beetles and moths, while rivers and lakes attract dragonflies and fireflies.

📚

Time window planning

Plan your bug catching routes based on time windows. Daytime bugs (6 AM - 6 PM) are more common, while night bugs (6 PM - 6 AM) include valuable moths and fireflies. Some bugs like Stag Beetle appear during both day and night.

❓ FAQs

Are bug spawns affected by time and weather?

Yes. Many insects have time windows (day/night) and weather requirements; Rainbow weather can enable specific rare spawns that don't appear otherwise.

What is the most valuable bug in Heartopia?

Atlas Moth is one of the most valuable bugs at 775 gold, followed by Rainbow Butterfly at 650 gold. Both are 5-star rarity and require specific conditions to spawn.

Can I catch bugs in any weather?

Most common bugs appear in any weather, but rare bugs often require specific conditions. Rainbow weather is essential for some of the rarest butterflies and beetles.

Where is the best place to farm bugs for gold?

Flower fields during rainbow weather are excellent for rare butterflies. Forest areas at night can yield valuable moths. Plan routes based on current weather and time of day.

Do I need special equipment to catch bugs?

You need a net, which you'll receive when you unlock the Insect Catching hobby at D.G. Level 6. The net is used to catch all insects.

How do I unlock Insect Catching hobby?
