Shining Endemic Life Explained
Any Endemic Life that Glows
Based on our observation, any Endemic Life that shines or glows can be counted as a shining Endemic Life.
Due to this, we recommend capturing the more common Endemic Life that shines, including Thunderbugs and Flashbugs in order to complete Endemic Life Bounties.
Non-Shining Endemic Life Doesn't Glow
On the contrary, non-shining Endemic Life is any Endemic Life that doesn't glow. This may get a bit confusing as some Endemic Life seem to shine at times, such as when the lighting make them seem so or when they're pinned by Scoutflies.
For Endemic Life Bounties that require you to catch non-shining Endemic Life, we recommend capturing Quatreflies or Vigormantle Bugs as they're common to find in all regions. Quatreflies are especially convenient as most of them dwell near Pop-Up Camp locations.
How to Catch Shining Endemic Life
Captured by Using Your Capture Net
Like most Endemic Life, you will need to use your Capture Net to catch shining Endemic Life.
