How to catch Ground Beetle

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

Habitat: Grassland. Distribution: All Regions.

Ground beetles are carnivorous insects, with most species adopting an active hunting strategy. They are on the list of rare insects that can reverse the food chain by preying on small vertebrates.

Even if swallowed by frogs, they are capable of chewing their way out and turning the tables on their predator.

However, one can rest assured that as long as the ground beetles stay as they are, most vertebrates won't be sweating over a new survival crisis.
