Decided to do this run today and LO AND BEHOLD THE GROVE SPAWNED ABOVE THE PAVEL MINES. I was SCREAMING. Then I was doing my quests and minding my own business and realized it was 3 am. Did the route in reverse and I got a freaking mantis. The thing is I was looking from above and I said "nah, that's one of the purple ones" and then I took a closer look and it was the fancy fairy one. Man, I've started playing 8 days ago and I already have an epic bug. I feel blessed. Thank you, I get SO LOST in this map and this guide helped me GREATLY.
I caught a fairy mantis by accident. I was running along hunting. Luckily I was paying attention and saw what looked like an iridescent grasshopper. The way I stopped in my tracks like skuuurrt! 😂 I have a ridiculous love of anything iridescent or rainbow. I have kept my eyes hecka peeled since then. 😂
I'm super new to the game and struggling honestly to follow your path without showing more of the map. Still great video and it actually helped me catch one of the fairy mantis on the very first "run" I did. I say "run" because I don't know the maps well yet and I have no idea if I was even going the same route lol. Maybe a picture of just the map with the route drawn out on the map itself would help newer players like myself. Just a friendly suggestion. Been watching quite a few of your vids so far and SUPER helpful. Thank you for the great content.
Thank you for highlighting these spots!! My first try I caught 2 fairy mantis, and a rainbow tipped butterfly and I had never caught any epics before that!
This was SO helpful! I catch some sort of epic bug almost every time I do this route now! I got my first starred fairy mantis today. Thank you so much. :D
Watched this video last night and today I was able to get 1 starred and 10 regular Azure Stonehoppers, 3 regular Fairy Mantis, 2 regular Spitfire Cicada, 2 regular Ancient Amber Beetles, 1 starred and 1 regular Cerulean Cicada, 2 starred Jewelwing Dragonflies, AND 1 regular Rainbow Tipped Butterfly!! I did use 3 Buzzy jars and 3 smoke bombs. Many of these bugs were my first catches! Thank you so much!! - Brynn
OMG omg omg omg omg I literally just went to the edge of the cliff next to the mine, just STARTING route and I FOUND IT!!! the rainbow tipped butterfly!!! I've literally been looking for DAYS And it's the LAST thing I needed for the entire vault OMG I'm so excited! Thank you!!!!❤😊
This is super helpful, and I'm going to try it today! Do wish you'd showed a screenshot of the map with your route traced, as after a month of playing I'm still struggling a little to navigate without the map. I recognized most of it, but once you jumped down and were running around towards the end I got a little lost until you came to the lake >.
I will take that into consideration next time for sure! Honestly, the important part of the run is really just starting by the bridge, the path up to top and then checking down below while staying up top. I mix up the end a lot depending on what I see. Sometimes I also check by the bridge at the lighthouse because I've found some epics over there now, too! But my route does change depending on what I've found, and on how many players I see running around from which direction. So start low, head up, clear that top level, then slowly work your way down while keeping your eyes open!
So true- grove time is the best time to get epic stuff elsewhere because people aren't running through. An epic bug is at every grove hence the rainbow tipped butterfly lol
I need to try this! Been looking for the starred Fairy mantis and Jewelwing what feels like forever. My question is you do 10 runs is that 1 run starting at 3am per palia day or 10 runs starting at 3 am and going all day?
10 runs all starting at 3AM! And you can time it! So 3AM in game is about the 7th minute of every hour, so if you have other things to do...like laundry, boring stuff...you can get where you need to be in the game, go do chores or whatever, then log back in at the top of the hour and be there just in time to do your run. :) That's how I did a bunch of these! In between I walked the dog, took a shower, did laundry, etc.
Thank you so much for this video! It's going to help me out a ton. I love the pc graphics. I play on Switch and I know I'm missing seeing all the beautiful flowers.
The game was fun.. up untill I hit lvl 5 friendships with everyone.. now there isn't nothing to do but run around harvesting materials.. but there is no incentive to keep playing.. basically the game is over..
If you aren't decorator obsessed, I can see where you are coming from for sure. For me I love creating new stuff in the game and running around with friends, but if you just want storyline, def have to wait for more.
I caught the fairy mantis today forgot i had it in my inventory and i had a quest to find 5 bugs and elouise left me with no choices as she wanted to keep one and SHE TOOK THE FAIRY MANTIS i could of cried 😢
I’m focusing on RBT BF to finish up one of the bundles. I've been searching months to no avail. is there any way that you could show your map route? it's hard to keep up if I’m trying to watch where you are and look for rbt bf simultaneously 😅
I know I"m so sorry! The big thing is to start at 3AM. If you're having a ton of issues, use a buzzy jar. Chase that, only in southern Bahari. If you start at 3AM that's when they first spawn though, so it is so much easier to get it! Look high and low. :)
is there a cap on how many bugs there can be at once like in Animal Crossing bc the blue butterflies and moths really frustrate me that they don't scare away
Ive noticed SO many people spam throwing Bug bombs! If ya just toss one every 2 seconds or so (rather than in quick succession) you wont waste near as many bug bombs :) Wait till right before they release and then toss again. saves thousands of bombs
I’ve caught so many Fairy Mantis that I didn’t think they were epic but i guess i just got really lucky but that butterfly is something else😂 I’ll update if I catch it! Update: I caught one! Tysm for your guide❤️
Two years into the game and still haven't caught the Rainbow Butterfly; in Dec2024 will be the 1rst year I still haven't got a Ruby star gem; two years finally got my first "Ancient Fish"
In Bahari at midnight in game, and there are several places they can spawn. If you listen at midnight, the grove will make a sound when it spawns! Run in that direction to find it. :)
It varies on the bug, but rainbow tipped butterflies begin spawning at 3AM. A few of the bugs tend to do their switch then, so it's just a good time to do the run.
I would love to add you, but my friends list is maxxed AND bugged, *cries* but hopefully once they fix that I'll be able to add more people! I'm planning to do another shell challenge though, so I'm going to make a second account so I can add people to view their house that I can't add to my main account. :) Once that happens let me know if you want a tour! Should be next month....ish. :)
And other people have been telling me they don't believe the gold star mantis exists!! I have three I think, but only one gold star rainbow butterfly. More on their way to me though, I can feel it! Got another regular one yesterday.
Aww I'm sorry! If you can, maybe try running it during late night if you stay up late? People run through sometimes but after midnight the servers can be pretty bare.

@@phosphorous75 Thanks for the feedback! I have added maps like this in other videos. It's good advice. :)
the pc version looks so much different than the switch version
It does, and it will. Unfortunately the Switch can't handle the same graphics a computer can.
Right? I was looking like… her world looks so much more… floral. So much more foliage.
@@chamab.6800 right, much more brighter as well
@@TeddieStylezGaming like dang. Is my non technical self gonna have to build a PC now? 😩😅
@@chamab.6800 hahaha...or wait for the switch 2 lol

OMG omg omg omg omg
I literally just went to the edge of the cliff next to the mine, just STARTING route and I FOUND IT!!! the rainbow tipped butterfly!!! I've literally been looking for DAYS
And it's the LAST thing I needed for the entire vault
OMG I'm so excited!
Thank you!!!!❤😊
YAY!!!! CONGRATS!!!
Rainbow butterfly was so hard to find and catch for me but fairy mantis and dragonfly are surprisingly common? I've ran across them soo many times
Sooo true
I love your energy!! thanks for the tip video!!
Aww thanks for the comment! :)
Caught two rainbow-tipped butterflies following your method on my first run, legit to follow, much endorsement.
@@IronArmMace Thank you!!!!!

So true- grove time is the best time to get epic stuff elsewhere because people aren't running through.
An epic bug is at every grove hence the rainbow tipped butterfly lol
If you're the first to the grove you get an epic bug, Elkton John, a Mujin or the Chappa! :) But ya gotta be first!
A hot tip that many people don't know is that every Flowtree grove will always spawn a magic creature OR an epic bug. So try to get there 1st!
Hahaha how funny! I just posted a video today with tips, and that was one of them!! So...great tip!! Hahaha!!
@RavyniaGaming oh! Haha nice!
That's true about your starting point at that guyser. I've caught 2 fairy mantis there in the past week as well.
TYSM for showing us this! I need to try this run out with members of my server.
Hey! I caught Fairy Mantis and the rainbow butterfly in the exact locations near Hodari house! Thank you!!!!
@@kirotomo Yay!! Congrats!
@@RavyniaGaming Thank you so much for the guide 😭😭❤❤

I caught the stared Fairy mantis just need that jewelwing! Definitely works! Thanks for the awesome tip video!
@@ellasweet3994 AHHH yay!!!!
I got my starred Fairy Mantis yesterday... its not a myth... please don't give up... I found it in the fields near Pulsewater.
That's what I'm saying! Got one prepping this video!
I have 2! I've had more luck with them than the other 2 :o
Thank you so much for this video! It's going to help me out a ton. I love the pc graphics. I play on Switch and I know I'm missing seeing all the beautiful flowers.
i love your videos, great content :)
Awww, thank you. :)
I run into rainbow butterfly without anyhelp from buzzyjar(?) and candle, but my game stuck and i can't unstuck it😢
And fairy mantis easy to find when it dark.
@@Pfvhrfkk did you try using your map to return home?
@@RavyniaGaming yeah, but still i couldnt get the butterfly, it was so sad 😢
I got the fairy mantis in the first week of starting on Palia. I didn't realize how elusive it was until now!!
The game was fun.. up untill I hit lvl 5 friendships with everyone.. now there isn't nothing to do but run around harvesting materials.. but there is no incentive to keep playing.. basically the game is over..

OH NOOOOOOO!!!!
Oh my thank you so much for this video! Just caught my first rainbow tipped butterfly 🦋 🥰
I think you might just be my favorite Palia UA-camr 😄💗
ME?? Really? *cries*
I got the fairy mantis and rainbow butterfly, I randomly ran across them when I was grove hunting. Now I just need the jeweled wing dragonfly next.

thank you i find the rainbow first try behind the big stone when u land with the glider :D
Let's go!!!!
is there a cap on how many bugs there can be at once like in Animal Crossing bc the blue butterflies and moths really frustrate me that they don't scare away
Thank you sm for this! I caught a rainbow tip butterfly 🦋
YAY!!
Fairy mantis was right on my way to hidori. That too a star one .. come to think that was quite lucky
Ive noticed SO many people spam throwing Bug bombs! If ya just toss one every 2 seconds or so (rather than in quick succession) you wont waste near as many bug bombs :) Wait till right before they release and then toss again. saves thousands of bombs
OH MY GOSH!! Worked the first time! lol
YAY!!!!!!!
I’ve caught so many Fairy Mantis that I didn’t think they were epic but i guess i just got really lucky but that butterfly is something else😂 I’ll update if I catch it! Update: I caught one! Tysm for your guide❤️
Thank you. I did what you suggested and I also found the star fairy mantis 🎉💃
YAY!!!
Two years into the game and still haven't caught the Rainbow Butterfly; in Dec2024 will be the 1rst year I still haven't got a Ruby star gem; two years finally got my first "Ancient Fish"
The game has only been out for one year. :) But it does feel longer!
@@RavyniaGaming right, yes, that was an error typo on my behalf, lol
When do groves spawn and where
In Bahari at midnight in game, and there are several places they can spawn. If you listen at midnight, the grove will make a sound when it spawns! Run in that direction to find it. :)
Could you draw the route for us?
Are Fairy Mantis that rare?? I've caught a lot of them actually....
According to the game they are, but I do find them more than the butterfly for sure. I have a ton of them.
what time are the spawns?
It varies on the bug, but rainbow tipped butterflies begin spawning at 3AM. A few of the bugs tend to do their switch then, so it's just a good time to do the run.
Ive caught the fairy mantis three times in the same spot, 2 regular and 1 starred
Not in the same in day game just every cycle I think
Nice! There are a couple spots I feel like I see that one pretty regularly.
@RavyniaGaming yeah true, it wasn't too far from the entrance, when I go to play I'll try to remember to put it here for anyone who wants one of those
I caught a fairy mantis randomly looking for a grove
NICE
Tysm! I got 3 fairy mantis n currently looking for the rainbow butterfly 🫶🫶
YAY!!!!
Awesome! Thank you!
First run doing this caugut a starred rainbow tip butterfly and a regular rainbow tip butterfly 😍😍😍
YAY thank you for sharing!!!
I’ve done 10 runs and zero rare bugs
Hy Ravy!! I just sent you a FR in Palia, my IGN is Faye Marie of Violet. Love your content!!
I would love to add you, but my friends list is maxxed AND bugged, *cries* but hopefully once they fix that I'll be able to add more people!
I'm planning to do another shell challenge though, so I'm going to make a second account so I can add people to view their house that I can't add to my main account. :) Once that happens let me know if you want a tour! Should be next month....ish. :)
The mantis is super easy. The butterflies is impossibleeeeeeeeeeee
And other people have been telling me they don't believe the gold star mantis exists!! I have three I think, but only one gold star rainbow butterfly. More on their way to me though, I can feel it! Got another regular one yesterday.
I’m just gonna stop looking and have like everything on me. That seems the only for me to get anything 😂
a map and some coord would have been helpful
The map grid wasn't out yet when I made this, but I'll be sure to use it in future videos!
so far no luck with this run. just unfortunate that people keep runnng through lol. Nothing you can do about it
Aww I'm sorry! If you can, maybe try running it during late night if you stay up late? People run through sometimes but after midnight the servers can be pretty bare.
@@RavyniaGaming I did just that and it worked! 4 epic bugs richer in 2 runs. Thank you
I literally got all 3 in the same run thanks to this route, thank you soooo much 😭😭🫶
Awww yay!!! Thank you so much for sharing. :)
I have caught all 3 just not star quality 💜🪻
I believe!!!
