Bug Pheromones, produced by Terrariums, can be used to summon bugs equivalent to the rarity of the Pheromone Item. For example: a Terrarium with 4 rare bugs will produce rare Bug Pheromones, which in turn can summon more rare bugs. It can be very useful for completing Museum sets!
Fish Bait, produced by Terrariums, can be used to summon fish in open water, or placed into the Beach's fish trap. The rarity of the fish you summon will match the rarity of the Fish Bait used!
