I’ve noticed while collecting insects with my 4x4 Dynasty family that the values have changed from those I remember from older games (and the ones given on Carl’s Guide). Each species now has a set value rather than a range and most are worth less than they used to be. The two real surprises are the scarab beetle, which is the only insect to have risen in value, and the glowy fly, which is no longer the star of the butterfly show.
This is a list of the current values for the species they’ve caught (with the 'old' values from the guide in brackets).
