Discover the spawning locations, optimal collection methods, and various uses for caterpillars in Fields of Mistria.
Fields of Mistria plants you in the shoes of an adventurer bringing a dilapidated farm to life. The cozy farming sim has you building a thriving farmstead from scratch while helping the townsfolk and exploring the various biomes of Mistria. Most of these biomes have collectibles like bugs, forageables, fish, and artifacts that can help complete quests.
Caterpillars are a bug variant in Fields of Mistria that can be caught for a side quest, crafting, completing a museum set, and for sale. While they can be found across the overworld, it can be tricky to catch one owing to their spawn conditions. Here are a few details to keep in mind when you venture out to catch a caterpillar.
Where to Find Caterpillars in Fields of Mistria
Caterpillars are common bugs found across the overworld in areas like The Narrows and The Eastern Road. However, it is important to keep in mind that caterpillars only spawn in Spring. When looking specifically for caterpillars, it is most efficient to head to The Eastern Road and shake trees. Shaking trees may cause caterpillars to fall out of them. Continue going from tree to tree until you find one of the butterflies-to-be.
The different types of caterpillars include:
| Name | Season | Weather | Location |
|---|---|---|---|
| Crystal Caterpillar | Winter | Snow/Blizzard | Overworld + Trees |
| Gem Shard Caterpillar | All | Any | Deep Earth |
| Loam Caterpillar | All | Any | The Deep Woods + Trees |
All caterpillar variants are donatable to the Museum.
How to Catch a Caterpillar in Fields of Mistria
Once you find a caterpillar, you will need to equip a net to catch one. The easiest way to obtain a net in Fields of Mistria is to complete the ‘Something’s Bugging Me’ quest, which you can pick up from the Request Board after day four. Holding the net, approach the bug and press the interact button to catch it.
Caterpillar Uses
The humble caterpillar has several uses, from completing a museum collection to becoming a chair. You need to catch a caterpillar to complete the ‘Request for a Caterpillar’ side quest from Hemlock. Donate a caterpillar to complete the Spring Insect collection in the Museum. You can craft Caterpillar Chairs after completing 8 sets in the Insect Wing. The color of the chair will change depending on the variant used. Caterpillars can be sold to vendors for 10 Tesserae and purchased from Balor’s Wagon for 20 Tesserae.
