When it comes to building up one's museum in catching quick insects can be frustrating if one misses the tutorial on how to go about it.
Posted to Reddit, No_Law6676 captured their annoyance by sharing a video of themselves trying to net a beetle that flies away when they sneak too close, prompting the community to provide a helpful answer.
While slightly tilting the analog stick does result in the character moving slower, it doesn't count as sneaking: To properly stalk one's target, the A button must be held down while moving. As can be expected from such a generally wholesome community, fellow players were happy to provide some insight, even suggesting additional tips the game doesn't mention at all.

There's More To It Than Just Swinging A Net
When it comes to carefully watching the insect itself can help figure out whether or not it's planning to flee.
While approaching a bug, keep an eye out for how it's moving. If it freezes, that means the insect is aware of the player, and the odds of it flying away increase. If this happens, it's recommended that s stop moving and stand still, giving their target a chance to cool off and begin idly moving once again; once it's resumed its usual animation, the time is right to get closer and let the net fly.
