The current Fields of Mistria bugs almanac contains 94 species, including 85 museum entries and 34 with weather limits. A reliable search combines season, weather, time of day, location, and rarity because one matching field rarely identifies a bug by itself. The linked live database holds all 94 rows, while this page turns its filters into a route that is easy to use during play.
Read the day's conditions before choosing a target
Season removes bugs that cannot appear during the current part of the calendar. Weather and time can narrow the list again, while location tells the player whether to search the Overworld, Beach, Ancient Ruins, or another recorded area. Rarity helps set expectations after those hard conditions already match.
The order matters because a rare bug in the wrong weather is still unavailable. Check the forecast and time window before traveling, then use rarity to decide whether the remaining part of the day is enough for a focused search. A quick filter at the start of the day prevents repeated trips based on one remembered condition.
Museum status answers why a catch may need to be kept. The current database marks 85 entries for museum sets, leaving nine bugs outside that count. Reserve a first copy when its museum set is incomplete, then compare sell value or other uses for duplicates.
Verified example rows
Ancient Firefly is fully identified in the current data as an all-season, all-day, Common bug in The Ancient Ruins. It sells for 40t, belongs to the Ruins museum set, and is obtained through bug catching. The earlier page no longer needs to leave its season or location unresolved.
| Bug | Season | Location and weather | Time | Rarity | Sell value | Museum set |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Ancient Firefly | All | The Ancient Ruins, any weather | All Day | Common | 40t | Ruins |
| Ant | Spring, Summer, Fall | Overworld; Sunny, Springwind, Fallwind, Rain, Rainy | All Day | Common | 10t | Multi-Season |
| Ant Queen | All | Overworld, any weather | All Day | Common | 30t | Bug Pheromone |
| Beach Hopper | All | The Beach, any weather | All Day | Common | 10t | Beach |
| Big Bee | Spring, Summer, Fall | Overworld; Sunny, Springwind, Fallwind | Day | Uncommon | 15t | Bee |
| Biggest Beetle | All | Overworld, any weather | All Day | Very Rare | 120t | Bug Pheromone |
These examples show that an all-season label does not always mean the same route. Ancient Firefly still requires The Ancient Ruins, Beach Hopper requires The Beach, and Ant Queen stays in the Overworld. Location remains a hard condition even when season and time are broad.
Weather-limited bugs
Thirty-four bugs in the current almanac have a weather restriction. The weather filter should be checked before a collecting trip because it can remove more than a third of the catalog from the day's possibilities. Match the source's exact weather labels rather than collapsing every non-sunny state into one Rain category.
Ant demonstrates a broad set of accepted conditions. Its current row lists Sunny, Springwind, Fallwind, Rain, and Rainy across Spring, Summer, and Fall, so the species is not tied to one ordinary forecast. Big Bee uses a narrower weather set and appears during the Day, which makes its route different even though both bugs can be found in the Overworld.
When the current weather excludes a target, keep that bug on a later-day list and use the filter to find alternatives that still match. This approach is especially useful near the end of a season, when waiting for one condition can consume the remaining collection window. The almanac can preserve the missing target without turning the entire day into a failed search.
Time and location filters
Time labels such as Day, Night, and All Day should stay attached to each bug. A correct season and location will not produce a Day-only species after its window closes. Filter the time first when the player has only a short part of the in-game day left.
Location labels also need their original precision. The Ancient Ruins, The Beach, and Overworld are separate destinations in the verified examples, and merging them would erase the condition that makes Ancient Firefly useful as a special case. Travel time makes this field practical as well as descriptive.
Group several museum targets by location when their seasons, weather, and times overlap. This creates a route with more than one possible success and avoids crossing the map for a single Common species. If only one Very Rare target remains, the same filters reveal whether the day is suitable before the player commits the time.
Rarity and sell value
Rarity describes how unusual a bug is within its valid conditions, but the page does not turn that label into an invented spawn percentage. Biggest Beetle is listed as Very Rare and sells for 120t, while Beach Hopper is Common and sells for 10t. Those labels help prioritize a search without guaranteeing how many area resets or attempts will be needed.
Sale price matters after museum use has been checked. A high-value duplicate can support farm upgrades, but selling the first copy of an unfinished museum entry can delay a set for another season or weather cycle. Keep the museum set visible whenever the route mixes income and collection goals.
The almanac's Use filter helps separate museum targets from other records. Use it alongside rarity rather than sorting only by price, because the most expensive current result may not be the most urgent seasonal catch. A low-value bug can still be the last missing entry in a time-limited set.
Build a museum route from the 85 entries
Start by filtering to museum entries, the current season, and the day's weather. Add time and location until the results fit the hours and destinations available, then note any Very Rare species that deserve extra search time. This workflow transforms the 85-entry museum subset into a small checklist for one day.
Keep non-museum bugs visible only when the trip also has an income or item goal. The nine records outside the museum total still belong to the 94-species catalog, but they should not crowd a donation route. Separate goals make it easier to decide which first copy must be saved.
A fast collection routine
Open the live almanac at the start of the day and set season, weather, and time. Choose one reachable location, then sort or filter the remaining results by museum use and rarity. Recheck the time window before changing areas because a valid Day result can disappear while traveling.
The fish and item hubs can handle related collection questions without mixing their conditions into the bug table. Use the item page when a caught bug is part of a broader material or recipe search, and return here for spawn conditions. Every exact number and example on this page is tied to the v1.0.2 source snapshot dated August 11, 2026.
