Insects

For carrying around, Egyptians keep their insects in discarded Starbucks cups.

Insects are any of a variety of bugs, worms, slugs, and assorted creepy-crawlies used to make fishing lures. They are collected automatically in the course of various basic tasks once one has learned the Arthropodology skill. They may be stored in chests like any other resource.

Beetles, found wandering outside, are a separate thing and have their own page.

There are rumored to be 49 different species split into 6 different classes. So far, 5 classes of 7 species each have been found, plus a 6th class (Crop Dwelling?) containing 13 bugs. That totals 48 species found.

The Arthropodology page breaks the species down according to actions performed, eg harvesting, foraging etc, even down to individual vegetables.

Specific insects need to be collected for increasing degrees of the Fly Tying skill.
