For Coral Island players, this is a guide for all insect in the game and where and when you can catch them. I’ve included base prices, and weather, along with some assorted catching tips. I made this because I wanted a steam guide to keep open on my second monitor while I played, but there wasn’t one yet.
Intro
This guide includes insect names with pictures, where and when they can be caught, the weather, and the time of day and season it needs to be as well. Here are the specific time slots:
Day (06:00-18:00)
Night (18:00-00:50)
Day (06:00-18:00)
Night (18:00-00:50)
I also wanted to include a few catching tips as well.
- Hold m1 to sneak. This fills the insect’s alert indicator slower.
- You can still catch most insects once they’ve alerted to your presence.
- You can leave flying and crawling insect traps in the approximate insect spawn locations to easily catch some of the rarer bugs, as well as it being a semi-afk money-maker.
- Light Feet (catching skill) is imperative for manually catching the rarer insects.
- For the really sensitive insects, like butterflies, pick a path you think they might cross, then slowly approach as they head your way. You can close the gap faster because they are also moving to you, therefore filling up less of their alert indicator.
Catching Locations
These are the insect spawn locations:
- Forest (Farm)
- Forest (Lower)
- Forest (Higher)
- Forest (Mid)
- Garden Lane
- Beach
- Lake
- Woodlands
- Town
- Lookout
- Vineyard
- Hot Spring
- Dump
- Deep Forest
I shaded the map to delineate where each spot is:
(Deep Forest is not on the map as on this moment, but once a new map image is available, I will update it)

The insects are in the same order as they appear in your Journal to make it easy to find a specific one you’re missing. It’s a long list, so use CTRL+F to find the fish you’re looking for faster. In the prices section, the first is base price with no quality stars.
