Sure thing, let’s dive right in.

Alright, so let’s talk about these little critters in Grounded 2. Ever try to spot a Praying Mantis Nymph? Yeah, not as easy as it sounds. They’re like the ninjas of the bug world, hiding right there in front of your face. Sneaky, right? But, oh, when they want to, they’ll come charging at you like there’s no tomorrow. You better be ready to peek through those weeds and spy on plant tops, or they’ll catch you snoozing.
I guess I should explain where to hunt these things, right? They don’t make it simple. Trust me. You’d think they’d throw them everywhere, but nope — only six spots in this whole Grounded universe. Here’s where they hide:
1. Pine Tree Hill, under that big old pine tree. Simple? Maybe.
2. Swing by the snackbar, head east, and then west past BURG.L’s Head. Cozy spot.
3. Near the statue’s platform. Statues are the guardians of mantises, apparently.
4. Those northern and southern flower beds by the statue. Bugs love gardens.
5. Lastly, sneak south near the trash can. Yeah, glam, right?
Now, there’s this thing called the “early access bug.” Make of that what you will. Sometimes, these nymphs play hide and seek a bit too well, like Houdini. Take under the pine, for instance. I swear it’s a myth half the time.
Couple of them seem to love lurking by the trash can and BURG.L’s Head — reliable regulars, I guess. The others? Hit or miss. I once saw one chilling by the statue. Next minute, poof! Gone. Magic or a reset, who knows?
And then… there’s more to share. So, the ones hiding high up in the grass — yeah, those up in the canopy — love blending with leaves. Honestly, their camo game sparks envy. You go there thinking you’ll spot one, but their game is strong. Feeling like a detective? Enter photo mode, if you dare. It’s a neat trick, unlocking that camera. And don’t forget to peek around pink flowers — not the petal-giving kind, mind you.
That mantis near BURG.L? Ground dweller, that one. Loves a good brawl with ladybugs. They’re like your unintentional shielding buddies, those ladybugs. As for the ones near the statue and trash can, you’ll face them solo, brave warrior. Maybe distract them with your buggy if you’re feeling fancy.
Oh, right — the loot! Praying Mantis bits, anyone? Claws, chunks, and heads up for grabs. There’s a catch, though. Like getting a birthday surprise, you never really know what’s in the bag.
Weapons-wise, slashing, fresh stuff works best. Stand back, aim for those big mantis eyes. Nothing like a charged arrow to shake things up. Mint arrows freeze them just a bit, nice touch. Head to the ice cream cart ranger spot, and you might snag some mint arrows. Handy, huh?
Once you’re mantis-hunting, prepare for dirt-flinging antics. Beware the claw swipes, those sneak attacks.
Oh, if you’re just starting off in Grounded 2 — a gazillion guides exist out there. Check one out if you feel a little lost. There’s tips about acorns, weed stems, and even a picnic table surprise. Who would’ve thought? Relish the chaos, my friend.
