Bug Heaven
Bug Heaven is a Minigame in Skyward Sword.[1]
Location and Rules
Bug Heaven is unlocked after Bilocyte is defeated. Strich can be found on Bug Rock in the Thunderhead who says he arrived on the island after getting lost in a thick fog. He then realized that the island was a Bug paradise and decided to stay on the island to raise bugs.[2]
There are two levels of difficulty to choose from: Bug Beginner (costing 20 Rupees) and Bug Wrangler (costing 50 Rupees).[3] In the Bug Beginner course, Link must catch five different Bugs within 5 minutes to earn a prize.[4] In the Bug Wrangler course, the number is upped to ten.[5]

Link? I wasn't expecting to see you here. I flew into this thick fog and ended up on this island. But once I got here, I looked around and realized...this is some kind of insect paradise! So I decided to go after my dream and raise a bunch of bugs here. Now I can spend my days catching all the bugs I want! You want to try catching some bugs? I'll release a few for you, so why don't you give it a shot?

Anyways, it's 20 Rupees for the Bug Beginner level or 50 for the Bug Wrangler level. What do you say?
— Strich (Skyward Sword HD) - ↑
In the Bug Beginner course, I will show you pictures of five different bugs. Catch one of each to finish! Got it? OK, get ready!
— Strich (Skyward Sword HD) - ↑
In the Bug Wrangler course, you will need to catch a total of 10 bugs that I specify from among eight different types. Got all that? OK, get ready!

That's it-time's up! Whoa... I'm impressed. You might just be a natural at this! Don't get full of yourself, though. You're still not good enough to win any of my rare insects. Next time, pull out all the stops and try to finish in less than two minutes.
— Strich (Skyward Sword HD) - ↑
OK, you're done! Huh. I guess I should've expected this kind of time from you. You know, sometimes the same type of bug is a lot easier to catch in just a different place. Make sure you look around for the right spot. Next time, try for under three minutes. Oh, and I guess I should throw you a little money. Here's 30 Rupees.

For starters, shoot for getting your time under five minutes. Just keep on practicing.
— Strich (Skyward Sword HD) - ↑
OK! Time! Hey... This is incredible! I think you might be in the running for second place as the best bug catcher after me. you should aim for under two minutes. Do that, and a prize package of five fabulous bugs is yours to take home!

Your times will get even better if you remember where the bugs live. Next time, shoot for under three minutes.
