From the shores of Kilima Lake Coast to the vast fields of northern Bahari Bay, each of these locations offers a unique habitat teeming with fascinating insect life. For Palia players searching for certain bugs to complete their collection, these are the best places to look.

Updated on July 9, 2024, by Jenna Amore: As Palia's vibrant world continues to captivate players, this article has been given an update to include even more of the best bug-catching locations for gamers to check out. Places like Mirror Fields and Pulsewater Plains are teeming with diverse insect life. No matter where players are in their bug-catching journey, this article can help them navigate Palia's lush landscapes and uncover the prime locations for catching everything from common critters to rare and epic finds.

10 Kilima Lake Coast

Map: Kilima

Along the southern coast of Kilima, players will find beautiful landscapes overlooking a large body of water known as Kilima Lake. It's known for being a popular place to visit for fishing in Palia, but it should not be overlooked as a great bug-hunting location. Bugs often spawn in open fields and plains, making the areas near the coastline a breeding ground for bugs.

Near Gillyfin Cove, players will find the rare Princess Ladybug and the uncommon Garden Mantis. These bugs are around at all times of day but may require special smoke bombs or upgrades to the bug belt. After chopping down medium or large sapwood trees near the coast, there is a small chance of spawning a rare Golden Glory Bee.

9 Fisherman's Lagoon

Ranked slightly above Kilima Lake Coast, Fisherman's Lagoon offers the same diverse array of bugs but stands out for its breathtaking scenery and additional activities. The serene beauty of Fisherman's Lagoon makes it an idyllic spot for fishing and bug-catching alike. The lagoon's tranquil environment and picturesque views provide a more enjoyable and immersive experience for players seeking a peaceful retreat while they pursue their insect collection.

Bug hunters at Fisherman's Lagoon also have the opportunity to fish alongside Einar, a villager many players aim to befriend as their Shepp. Einar's presence adds a unique social element to the location, enriching the overall experience. This combination of stunning visuals, rich bug life, and the chance to form meaningful connections with the villagers makes Fisherman's Lagoon a preferred destination for players looking to maximize their bug-catching and socializing endeavors.

8 Maji's Hollow

Map: Kilima

Maji's Hollow is located in the northeast corner of Kilima. It is where Chayne often spends his time near the dragon shrine. In exchange for renown, which is earned after completing quests, players can pray at the statue to increase the focus bar potential by 50 points. The uncommon Duskwing Butterfly and rare Spotted Mantis bugs are native to the fields surrounding Maji's Hollow.

When caught, rare bugs like the Spotted Mantis and Golden Glory Bee can drop silk threads. Players can also experience secondary drops from uncommon bugs like gatherable flowers. The Duskwing Butterfly, in particular, can drop a blue hydrangea flower.

7 Flooded Fortress

Map: Bahari Bay

Kilima Village and Bahari Bay are littered with ruins, which are said to belong to humans who once inhabited the area. The Flooded Fortress is one of the biggest ruin sites in Palia. It is a stunning area of the Bahari Bay map where players can find different types of crabs and snails not found anywhere else.

The Flooded Fortress is a key location for those looking to complete bundles from Palia's Vault of Waves quest. The deep red Vampire Crab can be seen here, scurrying along the sandy shores. This crab is needed to complete the spooky bundle. In addition, patience, virtue, and specialty smoke bombs can help players get their hands on a purple Stripeshell Snail, required for the completion of the beach bundle.

6 Bahari Bay Coast

Map: Bahari Bay

Much like the Kilima Lake coastline, the eastern coast of Bahari Bay is a great place to find rare and uncommon species of bugs. In spots like Beachcomber Cove and Coral Shores, players will find other species of crabs and snails, like the Garden Snail, the Spineshell Crab, and the Bahari Crab.

There are hoards of common Paper Lantern Bugs that will appear during the evening and night hours of the game. Their bright blue bodies can easily be spotted flying about near the Bahari Bay coast. Catching these bugs isn't much of a challenge, making it an easy way to build the bug-catching skill and a simple contribution to the Vault of Flames in the brightbug bundle.

5 Mirror Fields

Map: Kilima

Back in Kilima, bug-hunting enthusiasts should consider searching near Mirror Fields. This area may not have the biggest variety of bugs, nor the rarest, but it definitely has plentiful common bugs like the Common Blue Butterfly, Kilima Night Moth, and Spotted Stinkbug. Sprinting through the fields, players will find themselves constantly alerting bugs, sernuk, and chapaas in their vicinity.

Those who are lucky, or have the right bug-catching tools, can happen upon the Firebreathing Dragonfly from this part of the map. This dragonfly, like the Paper Lantern Bug, is needed for the brightbug bundle in the Vault of Flames. That's not all the Firebreathing Dragonfly is good for. It is also a requirement for completing the level three friendship discovery quest for Badruu and the level four quest for Hodari. There are many benefits to earning better relationships with villagers in Palia.

4 Leafhopper Hills

Map: Kilima

Named after the uncommon Garden Leafhopper, the western fields near the Daiya Family Farm are one of the best places to go to catch bugs. 10 different types of bugs can be found in Leafhopper Hills alone. One of these bugs, the rare Raspberry Beetle, is highly sought after as the most valuable bug in Palia. It sells for 145 gold each, or 217 gold if it is gold-star quality.

The Gossamer Veil Moth is also known to fly around this area during the evening and night hours. Unlike bugs who zigzag to avoid a player's anticipated movements, the Gossamer Veil Moth flies in a straight line, darting as far as it can before despawning. Along with the Golden Glory Bee, this rare moth is needed to complete the fairywind bundle in the Vault of the Gale quest.

3 Pulsewater Plains

Map: Bahari Bay

Pulsewater Plains, in Bahari Bay, is near the exit to Kilima Village. The fields between Pulsewater Plains and the Hideaway Bluffs are hosts to many different kinds of bugs, ranging from the Common Field Cricket to the epic Rainbow-Tipped Butterfly. Multiple bugs available in this area are needed to complete vault bundles.

For example, the Inky Dragonfly, Bahari Glowbug, and Spitfire Cicada are all essential for the Vault of the Flames and the Vault of the Waves. Because the fields are so large, it is recommended that players bug hunt with their friends and neighbors in the area. As long as a player gets one successful hit on the bug, they will be able to collect it when it is downed.

2 Pavel Mines

Map: Bahari Bay

Outside the Pavel Mines, players can discover a variety of bugs ranging from epic finds to uncommon discoveries. Players are often found searching for medallions and fishing in the pond in the mines. What many don't know, however, is that, along with fishing bait, they should be armed with bug bombs.

The mines provide a unique environment where bug enthusiasts can encounter epic bugs like the Ancient Amber Beetle, Fairy Mantis, Jewelwing Dragonfly, and Rainbow-Tipped Butterfly. The Pavel Mines stands out as a must-visit location for players looking to explore and uncover valuable bugs.

1 Northern Bahari Bay

Map: Bahari Bay

The place players will find the most bugs is the northern half of Bahari Bay. The fields and forests between The Outskirts, the Thorny Thicket, the Flooded Steps, and Proudhorn Pass house 16 different species of bugs. It can be quite time-consuming to walk a character up to this area of the map, so fast travel is recommended to save time.

There are five bugs that are involved in vault bundles, all of which can be found in this area of Bahari Bay. The Inky Dragonfly belongs to the Vault of Waves, the Paper Lantern Bug and Spitfire Cicada to the Vault of Flames, and the Ancient Amber Beetle and the Leafstalker Mantis to the new Vault of Roots.
