Insects and gathering

The Steam page treats insects, lizards, ores, and fossils as one boast: over 300 insect species, dinosaur fossils, rare diamonds, and the choice to sell the find or display it. The help center’s “Gather” article is narrower, and it is the one with steps.

Catch an insect

1. Buy a Bug Net from Grossard in the Camping Ground, or check the Shop. The Camping Ground is in the Plaza, opposite the beach, between the School and the Ghost House. Phone, then Map, if the path is unclear.
2. Equip it: Bag → Tool.
3. Tap the Bug Net button on the bottom right.
4. If the insect runs, slow down. The article says some insects flee when you get close, and a slower approach is the fix.
5. Materials sitting on the ground are not a net catch. Walk up to them. They feed crafting.

Dr. Farbe’s part-time job is “help him collect insects.” That is a quest, with a reward the article does not price. Details are on Jobs.

What the store adds, and what it does not list

Claim	Where it is written	What this page will not add
Over 300 insect species	Steam feature text	Individual names, spawn hours, or sell prices
Lizards in the same loop	Steam feature text	A separate lizard tool. The Gather article only requires a net for insects
Ores, fossils, diamonds	Steam feature text	A dig-site map. The hub guide’s Forgotten Island uses “items meant for digging,” which is a different sentence
Sell or display	Steam feature text	A price table

Ground materials and insects both sit in the Bag. Fishing catches are a different tool and a different shop. Stars from selling finds are part of the economy on Money, with no per-item price copied from an old guide.
