Catching all rarities of bugs is the crucial step of leveling up the Bug Catching Guild to unlock advanced versions of the Belt as well as new items and crafting recipes. One of the common bugs that players can catch is a Common Field Cricket, which Auni currently needs. This guide will focus on where you can find and how you can catch the Common Field Cricket in Palia.
Where to Find Common Field Cricket in Palia

The Common Field Cricket is one of the common bugs in the game that spawns in the Kilima Fields at any time. Players can easily find a Common Field Cricket while traversing through open fields or on the cliffs in the Kilima Valley. A few of the hot spots where the Common Field Cricket spawns often are Mirror Fields, Mirror Pond Ruins, and Daiya Family Farm.
How to Catch Common Field Cricket in Palia
Catching the Common Field Cricket is easier than other bugs as it moves slowly by hopping in a straight line. They are easy to spot and while running through the fields in Kilima Valley, keep your eyes on the ground for any hop movement.
Additionally, stunning the Common Field Cricket will require a couple of Smoke Bombs so, make sure you bring enough to stun it when you find it. If the Common Field Cricket gets alerted, it will try to flee away by hopping. It is best to throw the Sticky Smoke Bombs on it to slow it down and then use the regular Smoke Bombs to stun it.
After stunning the Common Field Cricket, simply go near it and interact with it to pick it up. The Common Field Cricket also has a chance of dropping a Grimalkintail Flower.
Uses of Common Field Cricket
You can sell Common Field Cricket for 20 Gold (Base) and 30 Gold (Star Quality) to Zeki or at the Shipping Bin. Moreover, you can also gift it to certain villagers who like it or those who need it. Currently, Auni needs a Common Field Cricket until March 16, 2025. If you catch one, bring it to him.
