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

I just wish the achievements page would show how many toward the achievement, like most of the others do. Like 10/30 so we know how many more we need to find.

Had the bug (honeybee) in my inventory , it showed up when I went to her, but then when i submitted she said I didn't have it, and it disappeared from my inventory. Not sure if I should file a ticket or report a bug (ha ha ha)?

Yeah, I realized a little too late there was just a daytime map for her! I’m just waiting for her to be added to the night time map to upload <3 For now you can easily click on the same area she was in during the day or use the link on “Check Out” on the front page of the news!

The area isn't visible on the nighttime map of Delphi Beach :(

I found the bug but forgot to go to Delphi Beach to show Chimalma. I was playing Item Hunt when the server temporarily went down and when I refreshed, the bug showed up again! I deleted the second one but wanted to let you know in case it's a glitch.

Found it on the sidebar. Still have no idea where it really is though so I guess I'll be bookmarking it.

I have been looking for Chimalma for 15 minutes. The link doesn't lead to her, i couldn't find a link in the comments, i couldn't find anything on the forums, and i couldn't find anything with a google search. And somehow, apparently, I'm an idiot since literally nobody else seems to have this problem. FML. If anybody wants to tell me where Chimalma actually is, so I can actually play this game, I'd appreciate it.

WHAT DO YOU MEAN "INVALID ITEM"!!? ;-; I just spent 20 minutes clicking every link and sub-link in the explore map, and my monarch butterfly was denied to me. I really like all the bugs, but not the computer bugs!

is being able to find multiple of the bug a thing you can do because I found the slug she sent me to find shortly after starting, but then I forgot to go back to her, and found another? Is that supposed to be a thing we can do or is that an oversight?

Hmm, I saw one of the kind she wanted but when I clicked on it I got an error message saying there was no record of the floating item. Hope it shows up again.
