Hanamushi's Doll Adventure Bug-Catching Bug Puzzle Guide

Solve the Bug-Catching Bug Puzzle

The Hanamushi's Doll Adventure bug-catching bug puzzle asks you to help a large insect catch the smaller bugs moving nearby. Solving the Hanamushi's Doll Adventure bug-catching bug puzzle earns The Bug-Catching Bug badge and brings you to more costume pickups. Turn the catcher toward its prey, then scare the roaming bugs into reach.

Once you reach the insect beyond the fish area, watch the smaller bugs before interacting. Their movement gives you something to work with: you can change the large insect’s direction and influence where its prey goes.

Follow this sequence:

1. Find the large insect and watch the roaming bugs. Keep track of where the prey moves relative to the catcher.
2. Interact with the catcher to change its direction. Face it toward an approaching bug.
3. Scare a roaming bug toward the catcher. Try approaching from a side that sends it toward the waiting insect.
4. Watch for the actual catch. A bug passing close to the catcher can still escape.
5. Repeat for the remaining prey. Adjust the catcher as the bugs move.
6. Finish the encounter and collect the nearby rewards.

Part of the solution	What to do	What to watch
Catcher direction	Interact with the large insect	Which way it faces afterward
Prey movement	Scare the smaller bugs toward it	Whether they approach its catching side
Successful catch	Let the catcher take the approaching bug	The eating animation
Completion	Catch the remaining bugs	The encounter’s completion reaction and badge

Keep each attempt deliberate. After turning the catcher, pause long enough to see what that change accomplishes. If you immediately interact again, it becomes harder to connect the insect’s direction with the prey’s movement.

The useful rhythm is watch, turn, steer, catch. Once that clicks, the scene becomes much easier to read.

Reach the Snail and Collect the Flotation Outfit

Getting to the Hanamushi's Doll Adventure bug-catching bug puzzle involves several costume interactions. Your doll’s appearance matters along this route: particular pieces help you pass creatures or cross obstacles.

The important preparation happens around the magnet, the cat characters, the large mouse, and the snail. If you have already crossed the fish area, skip ahead to the next section.

Follow the costume route

1. Collect the metal costume piece around Robot Factory. Check the machinery after solving its puzzle so you leave with the item.
2. Equip the metal piece at the magnet. The magnet carries your doll across.
3. Solve Nine Eyes and collect the cat ears. Interacting with the eyes changes their colors; turn them all red.
4. Wear the cat ears when approaching the large mouse. The mouse retreats, opening the way toward the snail.
5. Solve Mushrooms and the Snail. Move the mushrooms to complete the arrangement at the snail’s side.
6. Collect the flotation outfit afterward. You will use it at the fish crossing.

Encounter	Costume or puzzle involved	Result
Magnet	Equip the metal costume piece	The magnet carries your doll across
Nine Eyes	Turn the eyes red	Collect the cat ears
Large mouse	Wear the cat ears	The mouse retreats
Mushrooms and the Snail	Complete the mushroom puzzle	Collect the flotation outfit
Fish crossing	Equip the flotation outfit	Pass through the fish area

Finish the mushroom puzzle at the snail

The mushrooms require several moves between positions. Keep track of both their sizes and their destination while working through the arrangement.

Check where the snail needs the finished stack. Arranging the mushrooms on the wrong side adds extra work because you still need to move them to the destination.

Use these tips while solving it:

• Identify the destination before moving the larger mushrooms.
• Leave room to reposition the smaller mushrooms.
• Think through the next move before sending a mushroom across.
• Check the snail’s reaction when you finish the arrangement.

After the snail’s completion animation, collect the flotation clothing. Then open your wardrobe and locate it before traveling back toward the fish. Picking up an outfit and wearing it are separate actions, so make the equipment change part of your route.

Cross the Fish Area and Find the Catcher

The approach to the Hanamushi's Doll Adventure bug-catching bug puzzle runs through the fish area near the chains. Equip the flotation outfit you collected after helping the snail, then cross the water past the fish.

This is a useful checkpoint for your wardrobe. You have just used cat ears to handle the mouse, but the water crossing calls for the flotation clothing.

Follow the route in this order:

1. Return to the chains and fish area.
2. Open your wardrobe and equip the flotation outfit.
3. Move through the fish crossing.
4. Explore the area beyond it and collect the visible costume pieces.
5. Continue to the large insect surrounded by roaming bugs.

A Frankenstein-style head is among the pickups around this part of the route. Collect it while exploring, then turn your attention to the insect encounter.

Before starting, take a moment to separate the two moving parts of the scene in your mind: the large creature does the catching, while the smaller bugs supply its food. Your interactions help bring them together.

If you are standing at the fish and cannot continue, check your equipped clothing. If you are already beside the large insect, begin watching its direction and the nearby prey. That keeps your next action tied to the obstacle directly in front of you.

Improve Your Positioning When Bugs Keep Escaping

The Hanamushi's Doll Adventure bug-catching bug puzzle can look solved a moment before a bug slips away. Watch the eating animation to distinguish a successful catch from a close pass.

Both the catcher’s direction and the prey’s approach matter. Work on one at a time so you can see which adjustment helps.

Turn the catcher, then observe

In the Hanamushi's Doll Adventure bug-catching bug puzzle, interact with the large insect and watch where it faces. Pick a nearby roaming bug to follow, then let its movement develop before turning the catcher again.

Repeated interactions can make the scene harder to read. Give yourself a chance to judge each direction change. When a catch succeeds, remember the relationship between the insect’s facing direction and the bug’s approach.

Steer a bug toward the waiting insect

The roaming bugs react when scared. Use that behavior to guide one toward the catcher.

Try approaching a target from the side that sends it toward the large insect. If it escapes, watch where it goes before pursuing it. Adjust your approach around its new position.

What happens	Adjustment to try
A bug passes near the catcher without being eaten	Turn the catcher toward the bug’s approach
A roaming bug flees away from the insect	Approach from a side that directs it toward the catcher
You lose track of the action	Follow one roaming bug through an attempt
Several direction changes produce confusing results	Pause after each interaction and watch the outcome
One bug is caught but others remain	Reassess the remaining prey and repeat the process

Keep the successful parts of your approach. If your positioning sends a bug toward the insect, focus next on the catcher’s direction. If the catcher eats a bug arriving from one side, try steering another toward that same approach.

For the final roaming prey, slow down and follow its movement carefully. Turning and chasing at the same time makes it easy to miss which action sent the bug away. A deliberate attempt gives you a clearer adjustment for the next one.

Claim Your Badge and Continue to the Bulb Birds

Completing the Hanamushi's Doll Adventure bug-catching bug puzzle awards The Bug-Catching Bug badge. On October 21, 2026, that badge had been awarded 194,816 times.

After the encounter finishes, collect the costume pieces around the area. Footwear obtained here is useful at the next obstacle, so check your new pickups before moving on.

Goal	What to do
Earn The Bug-Catching Bug	Finish catching the roaming bugs
Collect nearby costume pieces	Inspect the area after the completion animation
Pass the following obstacle	Equip the footwear obtained in this section
Solve The Bulb Birds	Repeat the birds’ demonstrated sequence

Continue through the footwear obstacle

Check your wardrobe for the shoes collected around the insect encounter. Equip them before attempting the nearby passage.

Keep this habit throughout the adventure: when a new costume piece appears beside an obstacle, inspect it and consider how it fits the scene. The route to the catcher has already used metal clothing, cat ears, and flotation clothing in this way.

Repeat the Bulb Birds’ sequence

The next puzzle asks you to remember the birds’ actions and repeat their order. Watch the demonstration through before responding.

1. Observe which birds act and in what order.
2. Repeat that order by interacting with the birds.
3. Watch the next demonstration as the sequence grows.
4. Continue until the puzzle finishes.
5. Collect the reward and inspect the surrounding area for pickups.

Use simple visual labels in your head to remember the order. Tie each label to a bird’s position so you can replay the sequence without mixing them up.

Finishing these encounters also advances your costume hunt. Keep the larger collection goal in mind: Costume Complete requires all 48 costumes, so sweep each completed area for items before leaving.
