Catching bugs is actually quite simple; you don’t need a tool or anything. Just run up to the bug while spamming the interact button, and unless you get a little unlucky with how quickly it reacts, you’ll normally be able to grab it. The exception to this is butterflies, for which you need to run, jump, and grab. This makes it a little trickier, as if you time your jump wrong, you’ll miss the window and it will escape, but you should get the hang of it in a few tries.
