Silkmoths are tiny insects found flying around grasslands and through forests. They will ignore most obstacles (Trees, Walls, Houses) in their way, but will not cross water. Because of these behaviors, it is difficult for unprepared players to catch them as they fly. They are very rare as well. Once caught, a male and a female silkmoth can mate within 24 in-game-hours, turning into 10 Silkworm Eggs at most. For this, they will need to be in the same container. Once two Silkmoth breed, both will die. Once a Silkmoth is caught, their life ticker will start, and once that timer is up they will die.

How to Acquire

Silkmoths are acquired by simply right clicking them. The character will then run to the silkmoth, trying to catch it. However, they will rarely stop moving, usually only changing directions, so you will need a good strategy and maybe a bit of luck to catch them. They will change their direction after about. They can take a bit of patience to catch, but it's not too hard to catch them, only a long process.

Tips:

  • Bring a waterflask! You'll need the boost in stamina after a while. If you can't run, you can't move faster than the moth and then it becomes nearly impossible to catch one. Stopping to drink won't cause you to lose your silkmoth, although it may go off screen it will be in the same general area.
  • Don't run constantly! When you spot it a distance off, walk up to it. Walking is the same speed as the Moth flies, so you're not losing ground. Wait for it to stop and possibly change direction towards you. When you begin to get closer to it, run after it. By doing this, you don't waste stamina.
  • Intercept it! The best technique is to stand in the direction it is heading and quickly right click it as you walk towards it.
