Daylit grasslands capture and decoration
The Julia Butterfly flutters across grassy surface terrain in Forest biomes between 4:30 AM and 7:30 PM on clear days. Players net it using any standard Bug Net as it glides above flowers and shrubs. Sealing one inside an empty Bottle produces a Julia Butterfly Jar, which provides animated ambient tabletop decoration inside houses.
Orange butterfly bait and merchant trades
Carrying 25% bait power, this bright orange insect matches the potency of a standard Worm. While it provides adequate bait for early lake and ocean fishing trips, selling it to merchants yields 30 silver per capture. For players exploring sunny plains early on, collecting a stack of these butterflies offers a steady source of silver coins alongside dependable fishing bait that requires no stars or processing.
Trivia
- Like other daytime butterflies, it vanishes when night falls at 7:30 PM.
- Its vivid orange coloration makes it easy to spot against green forest background trees.
