How to catch Indigo Beetle

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.

Where and when to find it

Habitat: Tree Trunk. Distribution: All Regions.

Season: Year-Round. Time: All Day. Weather: Any Weather. If two of those tags are restrictive, check the creature tracker before you set out.

The Indigo Beetle possesses a metallic, beautiful sheen, but beneath its lovely exterior lies a lifestyle that constantly harms plants.

When faced with danger, it adopts the strategy of playing dead. Therefore, to protect the plants, even if you see a motionless, overturned Indigo Beetle on the ground, do not walk away. Instead, why not "introduce" it to the net?
