Where are All the bugs in twilight princess?

Answer 1

They mostly lie in Hyrule Field

Golden Bug

Getting Started/Hints and Tips

Catching bugs is simple. Walk up to them and press A when prompted. Easy.

Tips:

Bugs glow a bright gold. This makes them very easy to spot at night, so it would be wise to catch the critters while you are hunting for Poes.

You will also hear a tingling sound when near a bug, so stay sharp and turn your speakers up.

The Gale Boomerang can grab a bug and bring it right to you. You wont catch it immediately, but it can be easier then hiking across a field and chasing it around for a while.

There are 24 bugs total. One of which you cant get to until extremely late in the game. So there really isn't a reason to go looking for these bugs until the time comes that you can catch the final bug... unless you need money for something.

Some bugs require certain items to reach/capture them. These items will be listed in the section below.

Bugs can move around. They don't stay in one place like most everything else. As such, I can only list a general area as to where they are. Search the area thoroughly to find your prize.

The Male and Female are normally within the same map as each other. There is only one exception: the Dragonfly.

Secret: some of the bugs have the tri-force mark on them, leading some to think they are the "Goddess bugs"... No idea, but they may facture into the story line of the next Zelda game... or it could just be a neat little Easter egg the developers put in (the later seems much more likely).

Answer 3

i personally don't know where every single bug is however you can go to YouTube and type golden bugs Zelda twilight princess and there should be some videos.

and i know a great video dude that can help you with Zelda walkthroughs so you go

Zelda twilight princess nextgenwalkthroughs blankety blankety blank or just nextgenwalkthroughs Zelda twilight princess and see the catagories and if you go to Google and type in zeldatwilight princess walkthrough then i think its the first one, well he "wishing tikal" is clear about most of the levels, objectives and stuff to get like the armor and shield and all. and he also shows you where to get all the bugs, poe souls, howling stones and more. note "just to tell you if you accidentely press NO to your mentor/teacher you have to wait a while and get another howling stone say yes to that then you go to the location of the one that he said no then you should see him get the lesson you missed. sorry it is lenghty but it is my first time and i like to be detailed. also i had this question and because of that i started this whole community, you cant play as if you finished the whole game, once you finish it, it is over so then that's when it gets a bit boring because you already beat ganondorf.

Answer 4

The 'gold bug Spiders' are called Skulltulas and are scattered all across the Ocarina of Time world. They are literally everywhere, from Kokori Forest to The Spirit Temple. If you want to hunt for them the best time to do it is at night because they make a scrcch srchh scrchh noise that tells you they are near. If you want the exact locations of all of the Skulltulas you need to look at a walkthrough or guide for Ocarina of Time.

Hope this helped :)
