How to Catch Moths Easily

How to Get Moths to Spawn

Tip 1 Make sure it's night time
Tip 2 Chase away other bug and run quickly!
Tip 3 Head to a mystery island

Certain moths have certain spawn conditions. The moth, for example, only spawns during evening near the bright lights near the entrances of buildings.

The Atlas Moth will spawn only on the trunk of trees, so be sure to approach slowly to not scare them away!

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