In this Core Keeper Bug Catching guide, we'll explain everything you need to know about bug catching and how to get the Bug Net, as well as where to find bugs.
How to Catch Bugs in Core Keeper
Catching bugs within Core Keeper will require a Bug Net. The real challenge of the activity, though, is the spotting rather than the catching.
All bugs can be pretty tricky to find in that some of them are really easy to spot, while others are hardly noticeable—for instance, glowing bugs that dance around versus worms on the ground.
Unfortunately, bug catching doesn't have any significant use in the game other than for being fun to collect in Core Keeper. It's mainly a side activity for players who enjoy exploring every aspect of the game.
How to Get a Bug Net in Core Keeper
Making a Bug Net is easy. You can craft one at the Tin Workbench using 8 Wood and 8 Fiber. The Bug Net itself doesn't have any durability in Core Keeper, so you'll only ever need to craft it once.

Bugs in Core Keeper are caught with a Bug Net, which is available for crafting at the Tin Workbench. With the crafted bug catcher net, you can head out and explore all the different biomes. Be careful not to step on any, as most of the bugs are very small and hard to see.
To craft the Bug Net, you will be requiring 8 Wood and 8 Fiber. These can be gathered by exploring the many biomes of the game world. Most of the time, wood can be found by chopping trees down. Fiber is collected from plants growing in certain areas.
No, Bug Nets in Core Keeper do not break. If you craft a Bug Net, it will remain in existence forever; hence, you will be able to catch as many bugs as you want without seeing them break.
Currently, catching bugs in Core Keeper has mostly been done for fun or to simply collect. While this doesn't have too much in-game utility, it gives another level of exploration and completion to dedicated players.
