'''Bug collecting''' is an interaction first introduced in ''[[The Sims 2: Seasons]]'', allowing [[Sim]]s to catch butterflies and fireflies. ''[[The Sims 2: FreeTime]]'' allows Sims to catch bugs and add them to a collection. In ''[[The Sims Castaway Stories]]'' and the [[The Sims 2 Castaway (Nintendo DS)|DS version]], it is possible to gather bugs, which can be eaten, traded, or kept and collected. ''[[The Sims 3]]'' also features [[Collecting (The Sims 3)|collecting]] butterflies and beetles. ''[[The Sims 3: Into the Future]]'' features robotic bugs called nanites. In ''[[The Sims 4: Outdoor Retreat]]'', bug collecting reappears once again in the vacation world of [[Granite Falls]]. In ''[[The Sims 4: Eco Lifestyle]]'', bug collecting comes in a new form of composting and the consumption of home grown insects.

*Since [[The Sims 3/Patch 31|Patch 31]], butterflies will no longer spawn at night, and they will be replaced with fireflies.
*There is a glitch with the firefly collector challenge, in which the challenge could not be completed even if a Sim has caught all 8 types of fireflies. This is due to the fact that the firefly collector challenge is a duplicate of the butterfly collector challenge, which requires 10 types of butterflies to complete.
*It seems that the glitch of the fireflies can be fixed if the Sims move to a place like the University. Opening the list of trapped insects may show fireflies that have already been trapped as unregistered. Capture them again while you are inside the university compound and voila. (Bringing the collections assistant will help to locate the fireflies more easily)

;Notes
* [[w:c:starshiptroopers:Plasma Bug (film)#Starship Troopers film|Plasma Bugs]] are a reference to the giant, plasma-shooting alien insects of the ''Starship Troopers'' movie.
*In real life, Cockroaches and Termites are not beetles but insects in the order Blattodea.[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blattodea]
*Assassin Bugs are in the order Hemiptera, or 'True Bugs', and are also not beetles.[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reduviidae]
*Spiders are also not beetles, and are not insects at all, but rather Arachnids, a group that includes scorpions and mites.[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arachnid]
*Pill Bugs are a type of Woodlouse, and are land dwelling crustaceans, not insects.[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Armadillidiidae]
*[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Honeypot_ant Honeypot Ants] are, you guessed it, not beetles, but insects in the Formicidae family.

[[File:TS4OR Collecting Insects.png|thumb|250px|A Sim collecting insects from the ground.]]
Insect collecting returns in ''[[The Sims 4: Outdoor Retreat]]'' and works similarly to ''The Sims 3''. Sims can collect different types of insects and then have them as decorative items (giving +3 environment score), or sell them to gain more [[Simoleon]]s. Sims can also roast insects over a [[campfire]], or prepare shish kebabs or gumbo with them on a [[Barbecue|grill]]. Another way to consume insects would be combining them with plants to form herbal remedies through the use of the [[herbalism]] skill. Insects can be only found in [[Granite Falls]], though some are exclusively spawned in the deep forest areas of the world such as [[DeepHermit's WoodsHouse]] or the [[Granite Falls National ParkForest]]. Insects can also appear at different times of the day or night and some are exclusive to either of those time periods. The collection can be quite difficult to complete due to the high number of common insects and the time-of-day mechanic.
 
Insects can be spotted on the ground or in mid-air. A lot of them may be quite hard to track down at first as they can blend in with the environment, but catching them should be easy. A good way to spot a group of insects would be to keep the camera near the ground level on normal [[time]] speed. Pausing the game may not be beneficial, as the insects may be even harder to see when standing still. Fireflies will glow during the night, making them more easily recognizable. When a Sim tries to catch an insect, there is a chance that the insect will bite, giving the Sim an [[uncomfortable]] [[moodlet]].

====Reward====
After collecting all the insects the player receives the "Entomologist Delight" award, which is a plaque that can be hung on a wall. Collecting all 21 insects alongside the five [[Fishing (The Sims 4)|fish]] added in ''Outdoor Retreat'' in Granite Falls will also unlock the "Critter Catcher" [[achievement]].
