How do you catch a silkmoth?

[Dashnova]

So i was just curious, how do you actually catch a silkmoth? Ive tried chasing it down on sprint/running and ive waited for times it changed directions, but i cant see to catch one. is there any advice you could give or an item that helps....like a net?

right click it

First, do you have the skill sericulture?

After that... good luck. I maintain it has a lot to do with your home computer's video card and processing speed. It's my computer's fault I can't catch moths, and that's all there is to it. I just can't click on the darn things. I miss every time.

All you do is right click on the moth, exactly the same as you did with a rabbit except that the moth can fly.

Moths retrace their route. Moths also do not cross water. Use both these factors when trying to catch a moth. I've heard they help.

Observe your moth. Figure out where it is going to stop and turn around. Put yourself just after that position in the place it is going to fly to, put your speed to the highest you can and stand perfectly stll until the correct moment when it pauses for a fraction of a second to change direction. Click.

There are no nets. Lag could be another factor so try to catch them when the lag is imperceptible, if it ever is for you.
