How to catch Coffee Clearwing Moth

Use the Insect Net. The exact approach depends on the creature’s category and, for shore-dwellers, its species type.

1. Equip the Insect Net and approach the creature at eye level or on the ground.
2. Most insects can be caught with a simple net swipe; slow down if the species is skittish.
3. Check tree trunks, flowers, shrubs, crops and aerial spaces — the habitat column tells you where this species spawns.

The coffee clearwing moth is named for its preference to feed on the flowers of coffee plants.

In areas without coffee plants, the moth leans toward cape jasmine flowers.

If you shake the cape jasmine shrub and several "black strip-like objects" fall, this is the sign to be on the alert. The coffee clearwing moth will only produce black larvae when the population density is too high within their habitat.
