Can be given to Agitha

The Golden Bugs are a group of special bugs in Twilight Princess. There are 24 of them in total,[1] and they have been scattered across the land of Hyrule. Princess Agitha has asked Link to collect the bugs because she had invited them to her ball, but they never came.[2] She rewards Link for his help with very nice gifts. These bugs are one-of-a-kind, thus they are very rare and difficult to find. There is a male and female variant for each type of bug, equaling 12 types of bug.

The Golden Bugs can be found in 12 different locations throughout Hyrule, with each location having a male and female bug in it. All the locations and the bugs that are found there are listed below.

Rewards

The more bugs Link collects and gives to Agitha, the better the prizes he receives. The first bug Link gives to Agitha, he is rewarded with a Big Wallet, which can hold up to 600 Rupees in the GameCube & Wii versions, or 1,000 Rupees in Twilight Princess HD. After that, each bug he gives to Agitha he is rewarded with a Purple Rupee, worth 50 Rupees, if the bug is the first of a pair. If the Golden Bug Link gives to Agitha completes a pair, then the young hero is rewarded with an Orange Rupee, which is worth 100 Rupees. Once Link has given Agitha all of the Golden Bugs, she thanks him by gifting the hero with a Giant Wallet, which can hold up to 1,000 Rupees in the GameCube & Wii versions, or 2,000 Rupees in Twilight Princess HD[note 1]. In total, Link can receive two Wallets and 1,650 Rupees by collecting all 24 Golden Bugs.
