Run or glide north from the  Shipwreck Peak Waypoint — at the start of the map.

Mechanics

The adventure is enclosed in a relatively small space, a large part of which is open air. Bugs can be collected simply by being touched (no interaction via key press needed). The adventure will end if either the timer is up or if 30 bugs are collected.

Lean Techniques (Gliding Level 3) — Makes it easier to get flying bugs while gliding.
