I found that I scare bugs when I water my flowers. So today I took my gold bug net and tapped it all around my dry flowers. I caught a new bug - I had scared one like this away once before so I'm very happy to have donated a new bug to the museum. I couldn't see this bug in the flowers. It might have been behind the maple. I'm going to try this each day and see what I get. I don't suppose you really harm the flowers if you don't water as often...

*The cave usually has 3 bugs each time you start the game.
*The gold bug net makes it easier to catch the clorinde butterflies.
*Leave a hole and see what bugs spawn near it.
*Sometimes I leave some grass to see what will spawn in it.
*Weeds can attract flies.

I just realized, I haven't had any trapdoor spiders since I stopped leaving holes in the garden, and they're worth 140 coins! Thanks for this post, I'm going to go and dig some holes!

Thanks Jessamine and Tygerkittn. Finally got a trapdoor spider following your advice of Keating a hole.

Wow, thank you for the advice! It never occurred to me to leave a hole in the garden. I am usually trying to fill them because of the beauty level. I am going to try that!

Hint hint:

Woohoo!!
Today I found dragonflies on both lakes!
Woohoo!
Maybe Spring has sprung !

Me too! I was so excited! Bug hunting was more profitable than usual today, too. Lots of red lily beetles and even a couple of giant atlas moths, etc.

Cool, I'll look out for the dragonflies. I've gotten 2 new bugs in the last few days, which made me think the game is adapting to the upcoming change in seasons.

Thank you whomever added the new bugs! I was close to deleting this game and was glad to see them...

I'm pretty sure they were not added today. Bugs are seasonal. I'm just glad the game thinks it's spring. My allergies agree.
