In this captivating game, players are transported to a magical valley where they have the opportunity to interact and spend time with their beloved Disney characters. As players progress through the game, they can engage in a multitude of activities with these characters and embark on friendship quests, ultimately enhancing and leveling up their friendships.

With each update in Disney Dreamlight Valley, players are introduced to a plethora of new characters and ingredients that can be collected to prepare delicious meals. Among these ingredients are bugs, which play a significant role in the culinary world of the game. However, capturing these bugs can pose a challenge for beginners due to the variety of species and their distinct habitats. To assist players in their bug-catching endeavors, this guide aims to provide helpful tips and strategies for successfully capturing bugs in Disney Dreamlight Valley.

Where to Find Bugs in Disney Dreamlight Valley

Players can find 3 types of bugs in Disney Dreamlight Valley, including:

Slimy Bugs

Red Bugs

Colorful Bugs

Slimy Bugs

Slimy Bugs, which are aquatic insects, can be found in the river within the Lion King realm. To successfully capture these bugs, players will need to equip a fishing rod, which is obtained through The Fishing Expedition quest. The key is to aim at the red ripples, as they indicate the specific spots where the Slimy Bugs spawn. It is important to note that players need not worry if they are unable to catch a bug on their first try. Since the bugs continue to spawn in the same environment, players can simply cast their line again and try their luck once more.

Red Bugs

Red Bugs can be found in the jungle of the Lion King realm, where players first encounter Simba. To capture these bugs, players must use the royal tool, a shovel, to dig up the tree stumps. Once the stumps are dug up, the Red Bugs will scurry around, requiring players to give chase. However, there's no need to fret as they are not particularly swift.

Colorful Bugs

In order to capture the Colorful Bugs, players need to venture into the Dried-Out Oasis region. Similar to the Red Bugs, these vibrant insects can be caught with the help of a shovel. The abundance of these bugs in this particular area ensures that capturing them will only require a minute or two of your time.
