Level 4 Insect Catch

The cicada often spawns in Spirit Oak Pine Forest. Unlike other beginner insects i Heartopia which can appear in multiple starting locations, the Cicada is specifically tied to this forest region, so you must travel there if you want to add it to your journal.

The spawning conditions for this insect are quite forgiving. The cicada can play underneath Dawn, afternoon and dusk in sunny, rainy or rainbow weather. These time windows make it possible to find the insect during most daytime spawning sessions. If you explore the forest regularly, you will stumble upon one without having to wait for a very specific time.

How to catch the cicada in Heartopia

Once you find a cicada in the Spirit Oak Pine Forest, approaching it carefully will increase your chances of successfully catching it. A safer strategy is to hold down the bubble input to enter stealth mode. Doing so will slow your movement and begin charging your bubble net, allowing you to line up a better catch.

As you get closer, a capture outline will appear around your character, showing the effective range of your bubble. When the Cicada is within that area, release the bubble to capture it.

As you continue to level up in the bug catching hobby, you'll unlock upgrades that make hunts like this easier. Improvements such as better net range allow you to catch higher level Cicadas and bugs with ease.
