Yeah, that's where and when I looked. I found one in a game that I've since restarted. There are a couple of other places and situations that I suspect are good for it, but so far no dice.

Although I do NOT think this is where it is found, it should be found in a damp, forested area, perhaps on the coast, especially if the game had coastal hills. Think the California/Oregon coast from Santa Cruz to the Washington border. That's where I've found them in real life, lol. I am probably the only VT player who owns an actual book devoted entirely to the biology of this critter. (Ooops, I almost named it there, but I don't want to use spoiler tags.) They are REALLY interesting!

I've cut down almost all my trees in the game. I don't remember if there are marshy areas near the original Northern Forest, between the cave and the beach, but if it was true to life that's where I'd look for it. To repeat, that is not where I think it is found in the game.
