Tips for catching bugs in Fields of Mistria

To catch bugs effectively in Fields of Mistria, start by obtaining a Bug Net, which you receive after completing the “Something’s Bugging Me” quest early in the game. Bugs can be found flying or crawling around fields, on the ground, or by shaking trees to make some fall out. Some bugs also hide inside rocks, requiring you to use a pickaxe to reveal them. Bug spawns reset when you leave and re-enter an area, so if you’re hunting a specific bug, try exiting and returning to the map to refresh spawns. Additionally, adjusting your in-game display scale to view your entire farm can help you quickly reset bug spawns by entering and exiting your house. Keep an eye on the time of day and weather, as certain bugs only appear during specific periods or conditions, making timing an important factor in your bug-catching success.

Unlike fish, bugs don’t have a designated skill level or tree in Fields of Mistria. Some bugs also will only spawn during certain times of day. Based on our testing, it seems like the times correlate as so:

• Morning: 6-11 a.m.
• Day: 6 a.m. until 8 p.m.
• Night: 8 p.m. until 2 a.m.

Some bugs also live in rocks, so you’ll need to crack open rocks with your pickaxe to get them to show up.

Just like fish, you can reset the bug spawns by leaving and re-entering a map, so if you’re hunting something specific, this may help you find it faster.

That said, if you’re seeking out a bug that’s not in the mines, we recommend setting your “in-game scale” to 1x in the display settings and looking for the bug on your farm (if it can be found there). At 1x, you should be able to see almost your entire farm at once, and you can quickly go in and out of your house to reset the spawns. Happy hunting!

In Fields of Mistria, bug catching is an essential activity for completing villager requests and expanding your museum collection, even though bugs cannot be cooked like fish. The game features a diverse range of bugs found across various locations, seasons, weather conditions, and times of day. Some bugs appear only in specific seasons or weather, while others are available year-round or in special areas like the Mines, where weather and season do not affect their spawn. Players can refresh bug spawns by exiting and re-entering maps, and some bugs require breaking rocks or using a pickaxe to reveal them. The bug net is the primary tool for catching insects, and upgrading it is purely cosmetic. Collecting bugs involves exploring different environments such as beaches, forests, and underground caves, with some rare legendary bugs adding to the challenge. This comprehensive bug list helps players track and capture every insect needed to complete their collections and quests efficiently.

Which hidden bugs are most elusive in Fields of Mistria’s seasons and weather conditions

The most elusive hidden bugs in Fields of Mistria vary by season and weather, often appearing only during specific times or conditions:

• Spring: The Flower Crown Beetle is very rare and found when breaking grass, while the Luna Moth appears only between 8 PM and 2 AM, making them elusive catches.

• Summer: The Strobe Firefly is very rare and only appears at night (8 PM to 2 AM), and the Magma Beetle is rare but can be found any time in summer, often near rocks.

• Fall: The Mistmoth is rare, appearing between 8 PM and 2 AM, and the Fairy Bee is very rare, found only during this season, making them difficult to spot.

• Winter: The Crystal Caterpillar and Snowball Beetle are rare and very rare respectively, only appearing during snow or blizzard conditions, which limits their availability and adds to their elusiveness.

• Weather-specific: The Lightning Dragonfly appears during storms in the Narrows and Eastern Road areas, making it a rare sight dependent on stormy weather.

These bugs require players to pay close attention to time, weather, and location to successfully find and catch them, adding a layer of challenge to bug hunting in Fields of Mistria.
