Collin is a staff guide writer at TheGamer who has been writing guides for almost 10 years. He is also a professional game/level designer. More importantly, he's still waiting for the new Ape Escape game to be released.

Dave the Diver: In the Jungle The latest DLC takes Dave and his friends on an adventure into a huge lake filled with ancient and dangerous fish. This expansion lets you open a new restaurant, complete missions for the locals, and hunt all kinds of fish to serve your customers.

In The Jungle also features a number of additional mini-games and collectibles, one of which involves finding numerous bugs related to the Insectagram app on Dave's phone. Throughout the village and nearby jungle, you'll find all kinds of insects that you can capture using nets or through beetles and mini-games.

If you want to complete your bugogram, you can find all the bugs in Dave the Diver: In The Jungle here.

All insect locations

Player finding the locations of all insects and beetles in Dave the Diver: In The Jungle.

For clarity, let's divide this into two parts: common bugs and beetles. This is because they are very different from regular insects because in order to capture a beetle, you must win a battle mini-game against the beetle. Essentially, you're playing a game of rock-paper-scissors against opposing beetles, draining their health.

At the end of the match (or when it reaches 0) the beetle with the lowest health is declared the loser. If this is the beetle you are fighting, it will be captured and can be used in future beetle battles. You'll need to participate in this mini-game to complete your insectogram, as this is actually the only way to get the beetle.

For common bugs, you can get them by sneaking up on them and then pressing X (Xbox)/Square (PlayStation) to capture them using the net.
