Finding insects in Petit Planet
Bug-catching in Petit Planet rewards a close look around your surroundings. Unlike fish silhouettes, insects are visible in the world, and different species can share the same area. Their habitat, season, active time and weather help narrow the search, whether you are exploring your Home Planet or looking for a missing discovery on an islet.
Use this insect list to compare where each creature is found and when it is available. If a species is proving elusive, check its habitat alongside its galaxy or destination rather than relying on rarity alone. Each entry keeps those conditions beside the highest recorded price and any documented recipe uses, giving you a practical reference for bug-catching trips and your growing Omni-Gallery collection.
