* In ''[[Haruhi Suzumiya (Light Novel)|Haruhi Suzumiya]]'', [[Added Alliterative Appeal|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]]

== Film ==
* In ''Lucas'' starring Corey Haim, the titular boy spends his summers out in the woods, catching bugs, tadpoles, frogs, crawfish, and other creepy crawlies, just for the fun of it.
* Looks like one of the only hobbies Shilo from [[Repo the Genetic Opera|Repo! The Genetic Opera]] has while imprisoned in her room.

== [[Video Games]] ==
* Bug Catchers in ''[[Pokémon (Franchise)|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 (Video Game)|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).
** In ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword (Video Game)|The Legend of Zelda Skyward Sword]]'', bugs have to be caught and given to an NPC in order to improve Link's potions.
* The player does this every once in a while in ''[[Monster Hunter (Video Game)|Monster Hunter]]'' as well.
* In ''[[The Sims]] 2'', Sims can catch bugs. They even get a collection box with pictures of the species they've caught. Sims can also catch bugs and put them on display in ''The Sims 3''.
 
== [[Western Animation]] ==
* In ''[[SpongebobSpongeBob SquarePants]]'', SpongeBob and Patrick go jellyfishing all the time.
 
== [[Real Life]] ==
