Unlocking the Secrets of Fields of Mistria: Your Guide to Deep Woods Insects

Experience the enchanting world of Fields of Mistria, a cozy life simulation game infused with a touch of magic. As you explore the pixelated realms developed by NPC Studios, you’ll find myriad activities to engage in, especially if you’re a completionist tackling the ever-expanding Museum Collections.

The latest update introduced an exciting new area, the Deep Woods, which comes with three new collections, including the elusive Deep Woods Insect Set. While capturing insects may sound straightforward, many players struggle with obtaining the rare Singing Katydid.

Preparing for Your Insect Collection Adventure

Before you dive into the world of the Deep Woods insects, there are essential tasks to accomplish:

• Break through the Fire Seal on floor 60 of the Mines.
• Cast the Dragon’s Breath spell to clear the vines and access the Deep Woods.

Your Ultimate Guide to Deep Woods Insects

The Museum in Fields of Mistria features five insects within the Deep Woods collection. Although their conditions for spawning are straightforward, even common insects can prove elusive, demanding perseverance and daily forays into the forest.

Interestingly, the new insects in the Deep Woods are classified as multi-seasonal. However, my experience shows that they rarely spawn in Winter, though it’s still possible.

Deep Woods Insect Collection Overview

Here’s a comprehensive list of the Deep Woods insects along with their spawning conditions:

Appearance	Insect Name	Rarity	Time Restraints	Weather Conditions
	Windleaf Butterfly	Common	All day	Sunny, Windy (Spring, Fall)
	Mote Firefly	Common	Night (8 p.m. – 2 a.m.)	Sunny, Windy (Spring, Fall)
	Loam Caterpillar	Uncommon	All day	Any
	Dragon Horned Beetle	Uncommon	All day	Any
	Singing Katydid	Rare	All day	Any

If you find that your target insects aren’t spawning, consider exiting the Deep Woods through the main entrance or entering Caldarus’ Temple to refresh the area. Re-entering may help spawn different insects.

Additionally, shaking trees, breaking rocks, or cutting grass can increase your chances of encountering these insects, particularly the Loam Caterpillar. If you’re hunting for the Mote Firefly late at night, utilize the teleport in Caldarus’ Shrine to swiftly return to your Farm and avoid falling asleep.

Should You Upgrade Your Net in Fields of Mistria?

A visit to the Blacksmith might tempt you to enhance your net. Typically, upgrading tools leads to better performance and benefits. However, this isn’t the case with the net.

Upgrading your net only changes its appearance without providing additional functional advantages. A Gold Net does not outperform a Worn Net. While aesthetic upgrades can be appealing, consider whether you really need to invest 40 Gold Ore or 4,000 Tesserae for looks.

In conclusion, the original net received from completing the story quest “Something’s Bugging Me” with Luc is adequate for the entire game. Save your resources for more crucial upgrades or gear.
