Whenever possible, try to creep up on the insect from behind, so she can't see you. When the finger of the hand holding the net is almost touching the insect, SWING!

I'm an advocate of the "swing like a lunatic" method of catching bugs, and it often seems to work. At least, with the most geriatric insects. ;\)

Gatsbi, the background image to the Collections screen is called: collections_bg.jpg

If that image is modified or replaced, it may help you.

Warning: Remember to save a copy of the image file before making any changes!

Ive played with the _bug_ background and made it black and white. it looks much better to me, hope this helps.

PLEASE SAVE A COPY OF ALL IMAGES IN A SEPARATE FILE IN YOUR DOCUMENTS FOLDER,(or wherever you want it just not in the plant tycoon files) SO THAT IF THERES A MESS UP YOU CAN REPLACE IT!!

it definately gets easier to catch them when you upgrade the nets! but arnie is right, sneaking up on them slowly and from behind is the best way i have found

Nemyar you pruned a poor defenseless _bug_? \:o

If I see a bee or wasp on there, I'll be doing the same thing!

Just move the net slowly when you are near an insect. Your hand/water/net/shears etc., if moved quickly will cause them to fly or crawl away quickly.

Position over them about a bugs length away then click ;\)

Don't worry early on about the stats, some of the insects are worth 20-40 bucks for duplicates.
