Blue Butterfly 
Description:The blue butterfly always gets asked the question 'Why are you always so sad?' Little do his friends know, that by asking that question they only make him feel worse. Because he's just being moody and just wants to be left alone and he doesn't need someone to point out the obvious, which he has no power to change. Geez.

Catching the bugs
Make sure you've enabled your net by clicking the little brown tab down in the bottom righthand corner. When you get close enough to the bug, click on it.
When you catch a bug, your avatar will drop the net on it and a small bubble will appear with the bug in it. YAY!
If you miss the bug, you'll get a missed bubble over the bug and your avatar will swear!
Keep an eye on your count, when you have 10 go to the centre square and deposit your bugs with Bogie, the robot on the left. The robot at the train station will NOT accept the bugs.
Just click on him and he will take them. Click on the "save" to confirm it.
Watch him suffer a bit, then he will display the bugs that you have caught
Done! The bugs are now saved to your inventory.Exchanging bugs for Ink
Go to Moira's store, the Durem Depot. You can get there through the "Shop" tab under My Gaia
Click on "Exchange Bugs."
If you have enough bugs to make ink, Moira will show you what inks you can make. Choose one.
Also, if you do not have enough bugs, Moira will not offer you any ink.
Select which bugs you want to use to make your ink. REMEMBER: You need to have the bugs add up to 50--Moira will not take more or less.
Verify what you want to exchange.
Congratulations! You have ink!
If you have 50+ of only one color bug, Moira will not ask you to add them up to 50.
