Bugs

Bugs are a type of resource that can be acquired by catching them with the Net or purchasing. They are disliked as gifts by most villagers (with a few exceptions) but can be donated to The Insects Wing of The Museum.
Unlike other methods of gathering items, Bug Catching has no skill associated with it, and no tool upgrades available (all Net "Upgrades" are purely aesthetic).
Timeframes are as follows:
