How to Catch Dragonflies Easily

How to Get Dragonflies to Spawn

Tip 1 Make sure you have bodies of water
Tip 2 Chase away other bug and run quickly!
Tip 3 Head to a mystery island

The damselfly spawn more frequently near water, so make sure to run around near rivers!

Some dragonflies are also quick to move, so be sure to run quickly! Running won't shoo them off like other insects, so you're all set.

If all else fails, or if you don't want to run around your island, you can head to a Mysterious Island and use your net to catch some dragonflies.
