Bugs in Coral Island: All Insects & How to Catch Them

Early on in Coral Island, you’ll be swamped with various tasks. There is so much to do, in fact, that I got hooked on different mechanics and barely squeezed in time for bug-catching in the early game. 

Whenever you get around to it, you’ll notice it’s not as simple as it looks. For one, bugs keep darting away from me. Plus, I never seem to be able to catch the bugs I’m actually looking for since they all apparently have a fixed set of conditions to spawn. It also doesn’t help that I couldn’t find any machine that would let me turn my bugs into a more artisanal profit. Nonetheless, to complete the Lake Temple offerings, you’ll want to learn where you can find every bug in Coral Island.

How Bug Catching Works in Coral Island

Bug catching in Coral Island requires a Net, which Sunny and Eleanor will hand you on Day 3 of Spring. This enables you to catch all sorts of moths, caterpillars, and worms all over the island.

However, much like fishing comes with its own minigame, but catching has its own sets of complexities: to catch a bug, it’s better not to alert them. Sure, you’ll get away with quick movements with more common bugs like the fly. However, rarer insects will either fly or squirm away from you as soon as they spot you.

Your Bug Net can be upgraded in exchange for Ore Kelp, whether that’s Bronze, Silver, Gold, or Osmium, and a bit of wood at Sunny’s Beach Shack.
