The Bug Net is a tool used to capture Critters as inventory items. It is swung like a sword, but deals no damage. The Bug Net is required in order to go Fishing, as it is the initial and primary method of obtaining Bait: Most Critters that are insects, worms, or snails can function as Bait once captured. The Bug Net is sold by the Merchant for 25.

Other uses

  • A captured Critter can be combined with a Terrarium to craft a decorative Cage that showcases the animated Critter inside.
  • Captured Critters can also be "used" or dropped, which frees them back into the environment.
  • Captured Bunnies can craft Explosive Bunnies.
  • A captured Truffle Worm can be used to summon Duke Fishron, a Boss, during Hardmode. It must be used as Bait at an Ocean.
  • Critters have high sell price. Only about 5 critters sold pays off the Bug Net making it a useful moneymaker in the early game.
  • You can catch Golden Critters and sell them for 10 Gold each.
