How to catch Azure Metallic Hedge Blue

Use the Insect Net. The exact approach depends on the creature’s category and, for shore-dwellers, its species type.

1. Equip the Insect Net and approach the creature at eye level or on the ground.
2. Most insects can be caught with a simple net swipe; slow down if the species is skittish.
3. Check tree trunks, flowers, shrubs, crops and aerial spaces — the habitat column tells you where this species spawns.

Where and when to find it

The azure metallic hedge blue's wings have completely different patterns on their front and back sides.

Some argue that the vibrant colors on the wing's front are used for courtship among their own species, whereas the duller colors on the back allow for better camouflage when wings are folded for resting, helping them escape predators.

However, if we consider the overall behavioral logic, then this explanation clearly falls short. After all, butterflies can't tell who's observing their wings.
