Bug Catching is a fairly underutilized aspect in a lot of fa🌺rming simulators, but it’s pretty central in Fields of Mistria. There are a huge number of Bugs to be caught, and if you want to fill out the Insect Wing of the Museum, you’ll need to pick❀ up a bug net.
On that subject, Bug Nets are the only tool that cannot be improved upon. Just in case you’re thinking about spending your precious Iron or Silver ingots to upgrade a Bug Net – don’t bother. The only change this will result in is an aesthetic one, and the Bug Net itself is no better or different from the Worn Bug Net you get from Luc at the beginning of a play-through.
