But when aren't they suppose to be there? My sim wants to catch one, so I started to looking for them.
I have this problem without any mods.

@krecha_ae Insects don't really show up unless an opportunity turns up where you need to collect them. Otherwise, it's not that easy to find them in-world. They're usually scattered throughout and seem to spawn randomly.
I have collector reward and even that it's showing insects, when I click on one of them, camera zooms in, but the insects are not visible. So I cannot catch them ☹️
@krecha_ae It takes a bit of time for an insect to actually show up on camera. For me, I might need to wait 5 seconds for a butterfly to be visible, and 10-15 for a beetle. I can hear that the beetle is present right away though—there's either a scritching sound or something that resembles a cricket or cicada.
If the collection helper says an insect is there, it's there; you just need to point the camera at the spot. Keep in mind though that butterflies generally disappear at 7 pm, and many beetles vanish at 8 pm. So if you sim is late, the insect may no longer be present.
I'm wating 20s and they are still not visible.
My Sim is not there, I'm just pointing the camera (clicking on bug image in collection helper), but it's not there - despite of what you write.
It seems like kind of bug in the game.
