Bug Finder FAQ

Where do I catch bugs in Palia?

Bugs appear across all four regions — Kilima Valley, Bahari Bay, Elderwood and the Royal Highlands — usually in fields, forests, caves and along shores. Pick a region above and the finder lists every bug that spawns there with its exact spots.

Do bugs only come out at certain times?

Most bugs appear at any time, but some only show in the morning and day or in the evening and night. Set the Time filter to your in-game window and the finder keeps those time-locked bugs plus everything that's out around the clock.

Which bugs are worth the most?

The list is sorted by sell value, so the rarest finds — the Legendary Flame Queen and the Epic mantises, moths and butterflies — sit right at the top. Filter by rarity to hunt a specific tier for collections or selling.
