Thank you very much for this post, seriously. I completed the Poe's sidequest, but I never completed the Bug catching one, due to lack of patience.
I am glad someone posted this:)

Thanks a lot! I'll use this whenever I need to get bugs for some easy rupees! I'll probably need to use it for the poe quest too!
