I'm currently doing some bug hunting for the last few critters still missing from my encyclopedia, and they are tough ones! In the meantime, I am either catching or scaring away the more common bugs so that new bugs spawn in faster.

My question is this: do bugs that you catch and then let go when your inventory is full count towards your bug catching total for the badge? I want to know if I should keep trying to catch and then release the common bugs or just keep scaring them off because there's no point.
 
If you catch and release them, I believe they still count toward the Bug Catcher badges.
 
Pretty sure catch and release counts. ^^ I’ve done it before and it seems to be counting towards my badges.
 
They still count. It would have taken me much longer to get the gold bug catching badge if it hadn't. I don't ever realize my inventory is full until I see the message :T
