Forest canopy sightings and daylight netting
Drifting across surface Forest biomes during daytime between 4:30 AM and 7:30 PM, this patterned green insect is the rarest common butterfly species. Netting it with a Bug Net or Golden Bug Net provides 50% bait power, matching the very top tier of standard fishing lures.
Stocking prime bait against merchant trades
Unlike golden critters that sell for 10 gold, this specimen sells for 1 gold, making it far more practical to save for high-stakes fishing expeditions or crate farming. Using it yields high catch rolls without rapid depletion. Crafting it with a bottle makes a Tree Nymph Butterfly Jar.
