Sandbox/Bugs

**Bugs** can be found commonly in every biome of *Staxel* and provide an early source of income for new players. Hunting them typically requires a Bug Net, which can be purchased from the General Store. To catch a bug, simply equip a Bug Net, target the bug, then left-click on the bug. Bugs can be stored anywhere once caught. Bugs are not sold by any merchants nor available for purchase from the Shipping Catalogue.

Catching all of the bugs added prior to version 1.5 will award a Steam Achievement. Catching all 13 of the bugs added in 1.5 will award a new Steam achievement.

## Spawning

 This article or section is not a stub, but still **needs help**. Please feel free to improve it.
All bugs will only spawn in certain places, called **spawn tiles** on this wiki. The tile that they spawn on will always be able to spawn a new bug, so long as that tile meets certain requirements:

* To spawn a bug, the spawn tile must have empty air in the tile that the bug spawns in, and cannot have any other item or tile in that spot
* Each spawn tile can spawn only one bug per day; bugs are spawned when the new day begins
* Tiles that spawn bugs above flowers must have a flower on that tile
* Tiles that spawn bugs on the ground must be a Grass or Dirt tile**[ ? ]** and must also be clear of other tiles/items and not have anything on top of that tile
* Tiles that can spawn tree bark bugs must be made of wood**[ ? ]**
	+ Tree bark bugs, such as Rhino Beetles, are found on tree trunks and may sometimes be obscured by another part of the tree, such as a root, branch, or leaves

Bugs can be found on any day during the season, weather, or Island Portals event in which they appear. Additionally, VR bugs, special creatures spawned during *The Trainer*, can be found anywhere they are able to spawn, regardless of season, weather, or event. VR bugs will continue to spawn as long as the quest is ongoing and not yet completed.

## Common bugs

The following bugs can be found around the island that the player lives on.

*(1) Queen Bees can be added to an Apiary by left-clicking while it is in your hand. A Queen is required to begin the process of collecting Workers to produce honey. See Apiary for more details*

*(2) Worker Bees can be added to an Apiary by left-clicking while it is in your hand. If the Apiary is not yet at 10 Workers, it will receive +1 Worker immediately. See Apiary for more details*

*(3) Snails can be collected either by hand or with the Bug Net*

*Removed: Scorpions exist in the game files, but no longer appear in-game*

Price

*(4) It is strongly recommended to deliver Mischievous Fairies after the player has completed the Fey Masquerade at least once in any Year, since this expands the pool of bonus furniture you can receive. They are not required for completing the festival itself.*

*(5) Will o Wisps will only spawn outside of the village*
