Much like how we have fishing, there should be places to catch bugs.
Like they’ll be on specific trees, rocks, or bushes in The Great Outdoors area to swing a net at akin to an arcade machine and once you catch the bug it’ll show which type it is you got to keep or sell.
Or course non-bugs would be there too like spiders, snails, isopods, etc. to obtain too. There should also be bugs carrying items (since ants can carry many times their own weight) to get you items and rare items akin to fishing.
To attract bugs you slather certain bait on the surface like honey or sugar for differing types.
I think that’s a cute suggestion!! i do enjoy catching bugs in games like Animal Crossing
It’d be cool being able to place bugs (like bees, butterflies, moths) and watch them fly/crawl in air/circles + new bug cages to put your bugs inside! (similar concept as fish tanks that allows putting fishes inside)
Like these!!
Exactly ^^
it can also allow us to get an actual crab even if there’s a meat-based bait.
It would also be pretty fun to be able to let a butterfly fly around in your Condo, say, as an NPC with very simple AI or on a pre-defined path that it can follow around, snake that crawls around, etc. - I could see this being possible since we are already getting a whole new pet system in the future, so parts of that new system could be used for something like this
