Line 1: {{trope}} [[File:~~rsz_yotsuba_2_1647~~rsz yotsuba 2 1647.gif\|link=Yotsuba&!\|right]] A pastime for kids (ages ~~5-10~~5–10) to do during the summer. It's kind of like fishing to see who catches the most and release at the end of the day. Bug-catching nets are a must. Its mostly a boys' and [[Tomboy]] thing, although there are a few surprises. Extremely popular in Japan. Line 9: == [[Anime]] and [[Manga]] == * In ''[[Haruhi Suzumiya]]'', [[~~Added Alliterative Appeal~~Alliteration\|competitive cicada catching]] is one of the Endless Eight activities. Though, as Kyon [[Lampshading\|points out]], this is a weird activity for kids their age (high school). * [[Yotsuba&!]]'s Cicada hunt has appeared in a few chapters; she released them inside the house. Currently the page image. * [[Ichigo Mashimaro]] Line 28: == [[Video Games]] == * Bug Catchers in ''[[Pokémon]]'' are explicitly based off this. The creator, Satoshi Tajiri, was even an avid Bug Catcher himself when he was a kid, and this pastime is actually what he based Pokemon off of. * You'll spend a lot of time doing this in the various incarnations of ''[[Animal Crossing]]''. * The bug net in some of the ''[[Video Game/Legend Of Zelda A Link To The Past\|Legend Of Zelda A Link To The Past]]'' is reminiscent of this (you can even catch bees and other insects with it as well as the fairies that return in later games). Later games even have bug collecting subquests (particularly ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess\|The Legend of Zelda Twilight Princess]]'', where there was a massive variety of bugs to collect and one of a kind gold versions of each you had to collect as part of a side quest).
