How to catch Kabuto 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: Tree Trunk. Distribution: All Regions.

Season: Year-Round. Time: All Day. Weather: Any Weather. If two of those tags are restrictive, check the creature tracker before you set out.

Only male kabuto beetles grow an impressive, protruding horn.

This horn is typically used in battles against other males. Despite its heroic appearance, the horn is virtually useless in the beetle's daily life and feeding. Even with such an impressive "weapon," kabuto beetles still obtain nutrition by licking decaying fruits and tree sap like the rest of their Scarabaeidae kin.
