How to catch spiders: aim the Bug Catcher at tree webs

October 3 release-week player answer · Sources checked October 3, 2026

The short answer

Equip your Bug Catcher and target the spiderwebs on trees. The player asking how to obtain spiders received this answer and thanked the helper. The target is the web; you do not need to wait for a free-moving spider to appear on the path.

Use the web as your target

  1. Have the Bug Catcher available and equip it.
  2. Look for a spiderweb on a tree while exploring.
  3. Target the web with the equipped catcher and follow the current catch prompt.
  4. Check the resulting catch or inventory before continuing to another tree.

What the winter question does not prove

The questioner was already in Winter, but the answer does not establish a Winter-only season or a fixed spawn rate. It also does not locate the Bug Catcher vendor. If you do not yet own the tool, this web-targeting method cannot substitute for getting it. If one tree has no web, inspect another visible web rather than assuming all trees are valid targets.
