Insects

Insects are a class of collectable items.
They are featured in the Magic Encyclopedia and are caught with the Bug Cage, which you receive from Victor during the tutorial. They are found in the Zoo and all wild areas expect for Inferno Cave and Polar Fields. They can be released in flowerbeds by talking to Clara in South Pawville. Insects of the same type use the same model both in the world and in flowerbeds. The butterfly model is yellow with three black spots and black tips on each wing along with a black body, The dragonfly model has black and yellow stripes with white eyes. The cricket model is a black cricket with white eyes.
Catching a Cabbage White is required for the First Insect Catch quest at the beginning of the game, and Marin's optional research quest (Dogz) requires catching several insects. Several mandatory quests require unique insects: these are found with the Whiskers or Sniff Radar and dug up, instead of being caught, and they aren't included in the Magic Encyclopedia. These are the Orchestra Insect (Male), Orchestra Insect (Female), and Bramble-Eating Insect.
== Insect Setups ==
When the player enters an area, it loads an insect setup, a configuration of some of an area's insects at some of its insect locations. Most areas have 3 possible setups, but Whisker Woods has 4 and the Zoo has two. A list of most insect setups can be found here. 
Most insects are present on 2/3 (or more rarely 1/2) of an area's setups. In the below table, 'Uncommon' denotes an insect is present for less than half of an area's setups. 'Common' denotes it is present for more than 2/3 of an area's setups. 'Always' denotes an insect always present somewhere in the area. Insect setups are known for all areas besides Bubble Cave, Crystal Caverns, and Lonesome Park. For these locations, 'Uncommon' denotes an insect having only one possible spawn location, and 'Common' denotes it having more than two possible spawn locations–an insect's location quantity tends to correlate with its presence on setups. 
Initial spading suggests that some insect setups may be more common than others. In 50 tests of Dolphin Coast, 27 (54%) were the Cabbage White & Swallowtail setup, 11 (22%) were the Cabbage White & Cricket setup, and 12 (24%) were the four-insect setup. Notably, this gave the area's insects the following approximate appearance rates: 100% for the Cabbage White, 75% for the Swallowtail, 50% for the Cricket, and 25% for the Golden-Ringed Dragonfly. However, in 50 tests of the Zoo, setup rates were more equal: 22 (44%) for the Morpho and Rainbow Butterfly setup, and 28 (56%) for the Scarce Swallowtail setup. 
== Types and Locations ==
Note that, in Petz Dogz 2 only, all insects available normally in Jade Fields can also be caught in the Dogz Hideout. Each insect will always be there whenever the player initiate's Marin's quest, and the player must catch them all on the island to complete the quest.
