Intro
This guide includes insect names with pictures, where and when they can be caught, the weather, and the time of day and season it needs to be as well. Here are the specific time slots:
Day (06:00-18:00)
Night (18:00-00:50)
I also wanted to include a few catching tips as well.
Hold m1 to sneak. This fills the insect's alert indicator slower.
You can still catch most insects once they've alerted to your presence.
You can leave flying and crawling insect traps in the approximate insect spawn locations to easily catch some of the rarer bugs, as well as it being a semi-afk money-maker.
Light Feet (catching skill) is imperative for manually catching the rarer insects.
For the really sensitive insects, like butterflies, pick a path you think they might cross, then slowly approach as they head your way. You can close the gap faster because they are also moving to you, therefore filling up less of their alert indicator.
For insects that need weather that may come around only once or twice a season, you can change the game time speed to 50% for more time in a day.

The insects are in the same order as they appear in your Journal to make it easy to find a specific one you're missing. It's a long list, so use CTRL+F to find the fish you're looking for faster. In the prices section, the first is base price with no quality stars.
