How to unlock the Bugologist achievement in BIOMUTANT - Definitive Guide

I actually just want to add a couple important bits of information to the first guide, which was very helpful.

First, I don’t know who needs to hear this, but I did. You must see Noko first, do a couple Mount quests for her, and about the 3rd or 4th quest she gives you is sending you to Mito, who then sends you to the Glittermoth Grotto where you will get 5 glittermoths automatically spawn. You then return to him, then return to Noko, she then gives u the awesome mount and you are free to return to Mito, go to the campfire up the dirt road from where Mito is and make it daytime. UNTIL YOU DO THE NOKO questline to that point, GLITTERMOTHS WILL NOT SHOW UP IN THE GLITTERMOTH CAVE.

Second, you do NOT HAVE TO RETURN TO MITO AND THAT CAMPFIRE, to change the time and then have to come all the way back. Fun fact, there is a campfire just to the right of the altar, off the ledge to the right. Go off the ledge to the right and float down to the right on a ledge where there is a camp, a campfire and a bunch of goodies.

To get back, just keep following around with the mountain to your right. There will be a point where you have to double jump and then hit X to glide, but you shouldn’t have any problem making it. Keep following not far.. and you will see the jump up spots that u would reach after the yellow rope if you had gone all the way back to Mito.

I have done this probably 20 times and haven't seen a single moth in the cave anymore. I'm at the final save before the end of the game, maybe they stop spawning there after a while?

I find out, when a Sqvips, the One animal you go for the (Zoo-Do achievement) is around you, catch him, then will automatically spawn a Glittermoth in the near of you. It works every time for me.

Campfire method not working for me. Changed the day 3 times and still won’t spawn any of these stupid animals. Also save and load does not work either the glitter moths are there but only first 5 counts towards achievement tracker.

There is a much better fire I found. If you have sol’s trunk, the klonkfist, and the fungi mutation, there is a jump that is very easy to make at the entrance to the cave. You have to jump to the mountain opposite from the entrance and there is a fire right there. You don’t have to climb back up the mountain at all if you use this, it’s very fast.

NOTE: I don’t know if the speed of the double jump is based off agility, but if it is you can probably only do this with agility over 400 because I put like 35 40 levels into speed.

So just got this the other day, pretty sure the game has been updated since the writing of this guide. Once you've done the quest to collect glittermoths they spawn near enough everywhere in the world from what I could see, similar to the Pipis and Sqvips.

In fact, I'm convinced that they spawn near the other two 9 times out of 10.

One important thing: there are two types of bugs you can catch, yellow spark-like ones and white dragonfly-type ones. For me, only the white ones worked - I had my tracker on, and it only increased whenever I caught a white one.

Also, you don’t need to advance time via campfires - I was just running a circle through the cave, then the small camp off the ledge (see above), then the cave again. The bugs can spawn anywhere - in the cave itself, in the camp, outside the cave entrance.

Found the easiest way to get this achievement was to run back and forth through Glittermoth cave during the day. Was finding 1-2 moths each day. There is a camp located just down the road by Mito at Brightlight in order to speed time up to day.
Also found plenty of Pippis and Sqvips during my runs if you require the Zoo-Do and Flap-flap achievements

@KJer25 Probably someone who want's to know where the Glittermoth cave is. A Map, or even mentioning it's in section 5J on your map (bottom right of screen on world map) would be nice.
Knowing if it's connected to a quest would be nice too. (it is - Mito's and Noko's who are both in the area)

EDIT: Also, I'm assuming this may be a fix from the patch, but ever since I completed the glittermoth quest I have glittermoth's showing up all over the place during the day, not just in the glittermoth cave.

Camping nearby til the next day hasn't helped, maybe there's a timer before you can come back like the others?

Edit: for anyone else going for this, firstly glitter moths will not appear in the same pool you got them from originally for the main mission, but in random glittery patches on the terrain, I noticed glitter moths also appear in the world, so you don't need to keep repeating the route in the guide. The route in the guide works but there is no guarantee you will find any per run, there are some runs with 0 glitter moths.
There is a difference between glitter moths and flameflies - do not get caught out. Glitter moths appear during the day (and are glittery in colour) and flame flies appear during the night (and are orange in colour) but they look similar, so make sure you only count those you collect during the day. Only glitter moths will count, not flame flies. I thought my tracker was broken before noticing this.
If the narrator says there they are catch them/you fixed those flame flies fast it won't count towards your progress. The narrator does not comment on glitter moths.

Hi!

First of all - this is most annoying achievement from entire game, it's time consuming and little bit random.
To get access to Glittermoth Grotto you need first do missions for Noko. It is related to story, so earlier or later you will need to finish quests. Noko can be found in Sector 6J, she will gave you few quests to do. One of it will require to meet with Mito(Sector 5J). Mito will ask you to go to Glittermoth Grotto. After finishing his quest you will be able to catch them(also your counter will add those that were caught in mission) .

To find Glittermoth Grotto - if you are looking straight on Mito, you should go on a mount, go down the road, having big mountain on your right. Then turn right, road will go up. When you arrive to crossroads, you should see wall on your left with yellow climbing points. Go on wall, climb, go through line, climb again and you will find Cave. It's really easy if you pay attention to climbing points.

So now when you all reach Glittermoth Grotto let's talk about those bugs. Mostly, best to find them is on DUSK time.
How do You know if it's glittermoth? And not fireflies?
Glittermoth are shiny, white "butterflies" which looks exactly that:
Glittermoth

Those are the only ones which counts for achievement.
Now to do this quickly - catch Glittermoth with cn_Y
Then go to middle of the Cave, having Grotto entrance behind you, Psionic point ahead you should be able to see on your right place to jump:
Place to jump

Go there and a little bit down on your right you should see the shelf with camp and tench. Please check below image - on right Grotto shelf, on left camp shelf.
View

Just jump and glide there, use camp rest tilll DUSK, then go forward from camp side, jump few times(use mushroom ability if you need) and after 3 jumps(mountain on your right!) u will reach again climbing points which leads to Grotto.
Repeat as long as you catch all Glittermoths you need!

Glittermoths are just as they sound, small white moths that give off a glittering effect. The game will again bring you to a group of these as part of the story in a lovely place called Glittermoth Cave. These can spawn nearly anywhere in the game, but this cave has the best farming loop available. Run from the entrance of the cave (climb up the rock wall across from the cave, then tightrope across to the entrance) all the way past the Psionic Shrine to the end of the cave. Glittermoths, Pippis, and Sqvips all have a chance to spawn at either end of the cave. The location of the cave is found in this image in case you forgot where it was after doing the story mission.

Note: The animals in the cave only spawn during the day, so you can warp to the side character Mito nearby and follow the path to his left to find a campfire to rest at until morning to repeat the farming loop.

Capture 20 Glittermoths

Glittermoths are a moth/butterfly you are required to capture during one of the main quests before facing the Hoof Puff world eater. They look like a butterfly inside an area of other shiny butterflies.

You acquire 5 for the main quest from a specific location, then they become the most annoying of the animals to farm because they don’t respawn at that location again or seem to have any other sort of set spawn location like other animals. They can spawn basically anywhere in the game world, so the only way to catch them is to just randomly come across them. Make sure to always grab them if you see them while wandering around during normal gameplay, because they are frustrating to try and farm for later.

Glittermoths are like fireflies a round in the world. You will naturally stumble across these so interact with them by pressing triangle.png to collect them. You will earn the trophy upon catching 20.

I caught a lot of Lights at night, nothing fell out.
I went to the Firefly Cave and ran back and forth during the day.
I caught about 20 white creatures that were in the cloud of butterflies.
You can catch up to 3 of these creatures per day, and Murbelok and Pips also respawn there, one at a time.

Night fireflies are not suitable !
Often spawns one at a time near a herd of mounts (where there are three knozles)

Collected while running through Yar-Fields

For a long time I could not understand why the trophy did not fall; I collected a lot of fireflies, but there was no trophy.
There is only one result, you need to catch them during the day and there is not a firefly there, but a white fairy, you can see it when it flies. But just a firefly surrounded by fiery dots, which you can’t even see what’s flying there, DOES NOT count!

You need to catch white fireflies surrounded by butterflies.
After completing the quest associated with it, we have already caught 5 pieces.
Next, we come to the firefly cave and run back and forth to the cliff, they will appear randomly with other animals.

Does it depend on the update and version of the game or is it just buggy for me - but for this respun and in this place - they didn’t give it. Therefore, I recommend not to waste your time - after the quest, just complete the game and walk more, rather than teleport - there are a lot of points with these flies on the map. It’s especially easy to search at night - not only they glow well, but also their habitats.

In general, I caught 40+ white butterflies/fireflies and fireballs all over the world, after that I came to the fly cave and caught fireballs, and the trophy was given specifically for the white firefly butterfly, I don't know.

The Fireflies won't appear until you meet Noko. Complete tasks for her, then she herself will direct you to Yatozh (Mito). Complete his tasks, one of which will be to catch 5 fireflies. If you complete quests with Yatozh when you first meet him, but not in the direction of Noko, flies will not appear!
Farm flies only during the day! At night they do not count. At the top there is a video from riv666 on how to farm flies in a cave. It works, but personally, I had noticeably fewer flies spawning than in the video. Be patient.
