Bug Catching with Chimalma









Quote by Chimalma
The sun is shining, the sea is lapping at the beach, and I don’t think I ever want to leave my town! Except, well, there’s one thing I miss. Growing up, I was super into bugs! Their colors, their shapes, they way they moved - they’re awesome! They definitely inspired my style and work ethic. But, well, you just don’t see a lot of them in Delphi. Not the really nice ones!


Help Chimalma at Delphi Beach by catching the bugs she asks for.

How do you catch bugs? Easy! Once you offer to help her, you’ll find the bug you’re look for floating around the site. Click the bug and bring it back to her! Chimalma is nice enough to let you keep the bugs you show her. Unlike bird watching, there are no area specific bugs, so you can find the bugs anywhere around the site.

You can only help her once a day, so remember to visit her every day. There’s an achievement in it for you if you catch all 30. Bug Catching will be around until the end of August!



The first time you agree to help Chimalma out, she will give you one copy of Bugs As Inspiration for free. If you want another copy, you’ll have to buy it from the Millionaire Center

This is cool! I did find two of the one she asked for before I went to turn in the one I had already found. Is that supposed to happen?

The only bug I'm interested in catching is the one that's making the site do weird text formatting.

It varies! I found mine after maybe 20 pages? It's a little harder to find them with the Vesnali flowers floating around. Some people have been lucky to find it within 3-4 pages!

Um, how long does it take for the bug to show up? I've been on multiple pages with no sign of one...

I realized it popped up on a pinned page, so that's why it didn't work. And I will! I've been refreshing my inventory but no luck yet.

You get the book the minute you accept the quest. You don’t have to find the bug to get the book! It’s just the first time you accept the quest, you get the book. :)

I got the book before I found the bug, I'm not sure if finding a flower might have trigged into giving me the book? I didn't get a duplicate book after I found the bug though.
