Insect Collection
Mostly collection/relaxing. Early on, insect catching is usually less profitable than cooking and often less consistent than focused fishing.
Usually via progression and a hobby ticket, then Naniwa gives you the Bubble Net.
Yes. Bugs can depend on location, time, weather (including Rainbow-only), and your catching level.
Common insects have low base prices, so even with stars the income is limited unless targeting higher-value bugs.
Yes. Stars increase value, but they matter more when the base insect is already valuable.
Keep one for collection, then sell duplicates in batches (or keep a small request buffer).
Use short loops in dense micro-areas, do 1-2 laps, then switch time/weather plan if target is missing.
Time-box rare hunts and focus on correct condition windows (especially Rainbow).
If a bug never appears, confirm area unlock and required catching level first.
Game updates may change data; if something is outdated, please report it.
