How do you catch bugs in Yakuza: Like A Dragon?
To find bugs, you need to look for flashing crystal icons on trees and in grass.Examine them and you’ll catch a bug - it’s that simple. If you spot a flashing icon on concrete, it’s never going to be a bug: basically, greenery is the way to go here.
When you first start off you’ll likely nab cockroaches, spiders, and moths off trees. While all well and good, these are common insects which aren’t particularly valuable. What you really want are stag beetles, butterflies, scorpions, and the like. You can even get silver and gold variants of certain insects too, and as you’d expect, a batch of these will enable you tocraft some really powerful gear at the Romance Workshop.
Catching bugs will also help you progress through the Part Time Hero quests. These are quests focused on the many collectibles around Yokohama, and will also task you withfinding all Kappa Statuesandall missing cats in Yakuza: Like a Dragon.

Can you farm bugs in Yakuza: Like a Dragon?
I’ve found Hamakita Park located at the top right of the map as the perfect spot for getting insects in your inventory quickly. The method’s also nice and simple. Sprint about the place, looking for shinies on trees and glints in the grass.
You can also head into the dungeon underneath Yokohama to nab some rare bugs. To access it, head to the manhole cover near Kasuga’s apartment. It becomes available towards the end of Chapter 6 and it’s a place where you can fight loads of tough enemies for decent XP and loot rewards. However, it’s not guaranteed you’ll find insect after insect, so bear this in mind before committing to the task.
