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.

I'm wondering if the artist of the is a fan of the group Steam Powered Giraffe with that item description(its a line in their song Honeybee) lol

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)?

@rhino_loupe 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!

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!

Nice Subeta. ^-^
I'm not into the whole bug thing you've been doing lately, but this little once daily bug catching that's going to be around through our summer is juusst right. :rose:

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?

StarShadow
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.

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

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

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.

@Artist Well, it’s on the news page (on the “Check Out”), so if you check the news everyday at least you’ll see it!
@Poet Did you have multiple windows open? The bugs float like flowers, to where if you click it but have other windows open that might have a bug/flower in it, it won’t give it to you on the earlier page. :x

Why are they not all wearable -sobs in a corner-
[small]because it would take forever to draw all the overlays, i know, i know! I'd volunteer myself to do some if I could ;;[/small]
