Is there a way to get rid of that camera icon? I feel no need for screenshots and it keeps getting in the way when I try to catch a _bug_. By the time I get back to normal screen, the _bug_ is gone. I quit playing the game because I ran into this so often and it became simply infuriating.

And why did the post add _ s around the word "_bug_" that I typed?

the word _bug_ is lined so that the moderators can find it quickly
then they can sort out the programme bugs more easily

I never would have thought of that! Let's see, will it still add lines if I misspell it? Say, "bbug"? I'll find out in a sec. If that doesn't work, I can simply change to using "insect."

But why would the game include the term at issue if the moderators need to check for these glitches? It must make it tougher for them to sort out references to insects from the possible programming errors that they seek in this manner.

Whatever, my compliments to the system for attempting to address the most serious issues first.

We called them insects during testing. The reason for the underscores is actually due to a limitation in the current forum software that requires all search terms to be at least 4 letters, making it impossible to search for the word '_bug_' in the forums. At least this way we can find it, even though we have to explain it a lot when people ask about it.

As for catching the insects in the game (and dealing with the camera icon, which can't be disabled), I find that it's easiest to let the insect fly farther down into the greenhouse before attempting a catch.

Re: insect catching
That only helps when they first show up. I miss a lot -- I'm not good with the mouse (Ilike the num pad scroll control in VV2 for same reason). So I'm trying to net that bbug and miss and miss and it flies up to that upper corner and next thing I know I'm faced with taking photos of plants. If it can't be disabled then I'm done with THAT game.

I just laugh when that happens to me cattales \:\) Perhaps when you get to my age you learn to laugh at life's little inconveniences. LadyCFII is right though, I soon learned to wait until it got lower down before taking a swipe at the insect.
If the insect is flying upwards I just let it go when it get near that icon.
