Windy day arrivals and luck dynamics
Drifting on breezes through surface Forest biomes during windy weather, this rare insect rolls at a 1/400 rate over standard ladybugs. Touching or capturing it with a Bug Net grants a major positive luck boost lasting 24 minutes, doubling the duration provided by regular ladybugs. Striking and killing it inflicts severe negative luck, making careful net collection necessary.
Preserving luck bonus over fishing casts
Although it functions as 50% bait power, consuming it on a cast destroys the entity without providing luck buffs. Selling it for 10 gold supplies substantial early coins, while displaying it in a terrarium preserves a sparkling town decoration without risking accidental deaths from stray swings.
Trivia
- Grants 24 minutes of positive character luck when touched or gathered with a net.
- Killing this insect incurs a penalty to player luck, reducing item drop chances temporarily.
