Location and Uses

Descriptionshide ▲

Species name: Sand Cicada
Sensitivity to human presence: 90%
Usable as a potion ingredient.

This insect will fly away at the slightest sign of danger. I recommend you look carefully for it as soon as you hear it, then approach slowly.



Sand Cicadas are Bugs used to Upgrade Potions at the Potion Shop. Their larval state stays underground for periods of 10 or more years before finally emerging.[4] They are particularly sensitive to danger, flying away at even slight noises.[5] As a result, they are reputed to be the hardest type of Bug to catch.[4]
