62 original pixel art bugs and critters on a 16x16 grid, every one animated: idle (2 frames) and fly, crawl or hop (4 frames). Plus a 32x32 journal portrait for each bug, "not found yet" silhouettes, bug nets, jars and terrariums, and a collection-journal UI. 522 sprites for cozy farming and life sims, bug-catching minigames, RPGs, survival games and nature games.

Made for a collecting game

• Every bug animated: 372 frames. Butterflies flap, beetles and spiders walk, caterpillars inch along, grasshoppers hop, fireflies glow, the pill bug curls into a ball.
• 62 journal portraits at 32x32, each drawn at 32 (not scaled), and 35 silhouettes for entries the player has not found yet.
• bugs.json gives every bug a name, family, view, rarity, habitat, season, time of day and a suggested price, with its frame files, so a catch table is ready to use.
• 16 items at 16x16 and 32x32 (the firefly jar glows in 2 frames): Bronze Collector Badge, Bug Jar, Bug Journal, Bug Net, Butterfly Jar, Firefly Jar, Gold Collector Badge, Golden Bug Net, Ladybug Jar, Magnifying Glass, Open Bug Jar, Silver Bug Net, Silver Collector Badge, Specimen Display Case, Terrarium, Terrarium with Bugs.
• Collection journal UI: a two-page book spread, a 9-slice card, slots (found, unknown, selected), a NEW badge, rarity gems, tabs, page arrows, a close button, a ribbon and a caught tick.
• Bugs seen from above (head up, rotate to the heading) or from the side (facing right, flip for left); 2 ground shadows for flying bugs.
• Every sprite as its own PNG and on sheets with JSON (one row per bug), at 1x, 2x, 3x and 4x, plus palettes (.hex, .gpl).
• The backgrounds and text in the screenshots are previews (not included).

What it does not include

No player character or catching animation, no tiles or flowers (the meadow in the screenshots is not included), no sound. The 2x-4x files are scaled copies of the 1x art.
