Throughout Zephyr Town, bugs and small creatures can be seen crawling in the grass and climbing trees. In Story of Seasons: Grand Bazaar, you have a unique chance to catch these critters and sell them at your market stall every weekend, as long as you gather enough supply to meet customer demand.
We’ll guide you on how to find every bug in Zephyr Town and other critters hiding in the mountains. From common bugs to rare specimens, catching these requires patience and practice. Here’s everything you need to start building your collection!
### How to Catch Bugs and Critters
Bugs and critters are often tricky to catch, and there’s no specific tool for catching bugs. Instead, you’ll use your hands. To approach a bug, walk slowly towards it and use the interaction button to grab it. Flying insects are more challenging; you’ll need to jump and time your catch perfectly. With practice, you’ll learn how to judge their distance and depth. Once caught, bugs will appear in small crates in your inventory.
You can give these bugs as gifts to residents of Zephyr Town, but most will not appreciate receiving them. The better option is to sell them at the weekly market, earning extra money. Selling bugs helps boost your income and gives you useful items while restocking between market days.
