Fields of Mistria Bug Guide ⋆.˚🐞˚.⋆(With photos)

As of early access there are 68 bugs in the game, In this guide I will tell you where, and when they are found, and what they look like.

Getting your Net

Around your fourth day of starting your farm life in Fields of Mistria, you can find the 'Something's Bugging Me' side Quest at the Request board next to the general store in town. You will meet Luc at the Inn and he will give you your very own Worn Net.



Keep in mid you can upgrade your net at the Blacksmith but this is purely cosmetic!

After testing a whole day a few times i can add that WORM and TUNNEL MILLIPEDE in the upper mines DO NOT spawn in a thunderstorm, hopes it helps (at this point i think it might be for other critters not spawning despite the "all weathers" ).

[Mew Mew]

College and work are kicking my butt. I'll update Mistria guides over spring break if they need too Enjoy the update everyone! Also I feel the pain of not being able to find the legendary bugs. When the game came out I had to wait for people to find them to update my guide

[Alrevis]

ty for the guide it helps me a lot! btw i got 3 (1 museum + 2 extras) each of snowball beetle and speedy snail in my farm, yet i cant get the other legendary life is so sad

[Jerrie`]

Can't find the legendary Fairy Bee - I'm beginning to doubt it being in MY game. I'm looking everywhere all over the friggin land every fall morning except on days it rains.

[Cloudz]

I been spending 2-3 hours looking for this snail man, why is it so hard to find

[Felixir]

It's my second year and I just can't find the luna moth in spring, I'm desperate, it's suppose to be a "common" bug, so where is it ?

[TheRealKittyToe]

btw the cricket is part of the museum collections :)

[kiza]

About the Luna Moth; you can find it anywhere around around town too, not just The Narrows

[RenegadeX]

Anyone else come here expecting a list of program issues ("bugs")?

[Mew Mew]

When I get a chance I will double check the times and update them! Thank you!
