Spitfire Cicada

The Spitfire Cicada is a Rare bug in Palia.

Description

“	A spirited cicada, whose bark is worse than its bite. Found attached to trees in Bahari Bay during the morning and day.	”
–In-Game Item Description

Rarer still than even Cerulean Cicadas, Spitfire Cicadas can be difficult to spot due to their yellow and orange wings camouflaging them with the leaves.

How to Obtain

Bug Catching

Spitfire Cicadas can be found attached to medium and large Juniper Trees anywhere in Bahari Bay, during the morning and day (3:00 AM - 6:00 PM).

Behavior

Spitfire Cicadas stick to trees until alerted by player movement or Smoke Bombs, at which time they will begin to flee. Spitfire Cicadas do not stop moving once startled and are fairly fast, making Sticky Smoke Bombs a viable strategy for slowing them down. Smoke candles are very helpful in sneaking up on them without alerting them as well.

Drops

There is a chance the Spitfire Cicada will drop one of the following items when caught:

• 1 - 7 Silk Thread
• 0 - 1 Nandina Flower
