How to Get All Mutations in Catch Bugs

Bugs with mutations in Catch Bugs earn you far more money than regular bugs. One of the main mechanics in Catch Bugs is the Vivarium, which benefits the most from mutated bugs. Even the rarest bugs can get any one of the mutations listed below.

Catch Bugs Mutations

Mutations affect the value multiplier of a bug, whilst also changing its appearance. Outside of weather events, all players have a base 1 in 90 chance of catching a bug with a mutation.

Mutated bugs, as mentioned, have a higher value multiplier, meaning they sell for much more money. However, if you place mutated bugs in your Vivarium, your income further increases. In short, mutated bugs are better than regular bugs, especially when it comes to earning money.
