A complete catalog of all bugs found in the charming world of Fields of Mistria has been compiled, offering players detailed information on where and when to find each creature. This guide aims to assist players in their collections, whether for museum displays or completing in-game tasks.
The list includes a wide variety of insects, from common butterflies and ladybugs to rarer species like the Queen's birdwing and diamond beetle. Each entry specifies the bug's primary location, which can range from general surface maps to specific mine levels such as The Ancient Ruins (mines 81-99) or Lava Caves (Mines 61-79). Some creatures are also noted to appear "inside rocks," suggesting a need for interaction with specific environmental elements.
Seasonal availability is a key factor for many of the game's bugs, with many appearing only in Spring, Summer, Fall, or Winter. Certain bugs are also tied to specific times of day, including morning, day, or night. Weather conditions further refine these possibilities; for instance, the Crystal caterpillar is found in snowy conditions, while the Lightning dragonfly requires stormy weather.
Some rarer bugs necessitate the use of pheromones to attract them. These range from common bug pheromones for the Ant queen to legendary bug pheromones for the Biggest beetle, and rare bug pheromones for the Queen's birdwing. Sand mantis, for example, requires uncommon bug pheromones.
Areas covered by the bug locations include general surface maps, the Beach, Tide Caverns (Mines 21-39), Upper Mines (Mines 1-19), Lava Caves (Mines 61-79), Deep Earth (Mines 41-59), The Ancient Ruins (Mines 81-99), The Deep Woods, The Narrows, the Eastern Road, and Mistria town itself. Specific environmental conditions like water surfaces for the Pond skater and light sources for the Lantern moth are also noted.
