{{Term/Store|Insect|Insects|Series|plural}},<ref>{{Cite Book|quote= |book= E|publisher= |page= 66 {{Exp Game|Series}}}}</ref> also known as '''Bugs''',{{Name Ref}} encompass a group of enemies, [[animals]], and collectibles found in various games throughout the {{TLoZ|Series}}. With the exception of [[Shadow Insect]]s, Bugs do not have plot-relevance; their role is usually limited to [[sidequest]]s.

Generic, blue beetle-like Bugs can be stored in [[Bottle]]s in {{OoT}}.<ref>{{Cite|You put a {{Color|OoT Red|Bug}} in the bottle! You can release it by pressing {{Icon|OoT C}}. This kind of insect prefers to live in small holes in the ground.|N/A|OoT}}</ref> They can be found under small [[Rock]]s or be purchased at the [[Medicine Shop]] for 50 [[Rupee]]s. Each Bottle holds three individual Bugs which, when released, will scatter around for a few seconds, and then dig underground, never to be seen again. Their preferred breeding grounds are mounds of [[Soil|soft soil]].<ref name=breeding/> These seemingly insignificant Bugs benefit [[Link]] greatly while he searches for [[Gold Skulltula]]s. If Link finds a mound of soft soil to drop them on, they will burrow into the soil and in so doing may reveal a Gold Skulltula.<ref name=breeding>{{Cite|They say that the small holes in the ground that you can find all over Hyrule make perfect breeding ground for bugs.|Gossip Stone|OoT}}</ref><ref>{{Cite|There are some tricks to finding them all! First of all, you'll have to hunt at night. Secondly, keep in mind that they love soft soil...|Cursed Rich Man|OoT}}</ref> Since three Bugs appear every time they are released, this can be useful to increase or maintain Bug supply by releasing and re-catching Bugs in new Bottles. This trick can also be used for quick money in {{OoT|-}}, as they can be sold to the [[Buyer]] for 50 Rupees per Bottle.<ref>{{Cite|Oh, it's a cute little {{Color|OoT Green|Bug}}! I'll buy it for {{Color|OoT Red|50 Rupees}}! All sales final, OK?|Buyer|OoT}}</ref>
