Where do I find Common Blue Butterflies in Palia?

One of the most common bugs in the game, Common Blue Butterfly can be found in almost every field and mountain area in both map zones. But these butterflies only lay their eggs between three in the morning and six in the afternoon. These are easily found while traveling across the fields of Bahari Bay and Kilima Valley. As for laying eggs, the Common Blue Butterfly does this in many spots, including the Mayor's Estate, Remembrance Garden, and Leafhopper Hills.

Palia: How to Catch Common Blue Butterflies

Since it will neither try to fly away nor go faster due to the presence of the player, this makes the Common Blue Butterfly one of the easiest bugs and butterflies to catch. Even when hit with the Smoke Bomb, it simply wasn't fazed and returned to its usual behavior.

Also, you only need one Smoke Bomb to stun the Common Blue Butterfly, so it's not hard at all. If you don't target the butterfly in order to stun it, your smoke bomb will be wasted.

You can readily gather the Common Blue Butterfly once you've knocked it out; you only need to walk up to it and interact with it. The Common Blue Butterfly might also drop a Gardenia Flower.

A Common Blue Butterfly Has Many Uses

Two key missions, Not Hungry and Bug Catching 101, primarily require the common blue butterfly. Zeki or the Shipping Bin will buy Common Blue Butter for 15 Gold (Base Quality) or 22 Gold (Star Quality). Gifting it to deserving or enthusiastic locals is another option. 

Please give Auni any Common Blue Butterflies you may have caught; he's currently in need of one until November 17, 2024.
