How to get Silk Thread in Palia
Silk Thread in Palia is dropped from Rare and Epic bugs when caught. To improve your chances of catching rarer bugs, it's worthwhile crafting better Smoke Bombs such as the Sneaky Smoke Bomb, which allows you to throw bombs multiple times without alerting bugs and causing them to run away.
You can buy the recipes for upgraded Smoke Bombs from Auni once you achieve higher bug-catching skill levels. To do this, simply practise catching bugs and make sure your Focus meter is full while doing so for an extra buff.
The following bugs in Palia can drop Silk Thread when caught, we recommend aiming for Rare rather than Epic bugs if you're still early on in Palia, as these will be slightly easier to catch in comparison. Rare bugs will usually drop 0-7 Silk Thread, whereas Epic Bugs may drop 0-14 Silk Thread.

As you can see from the table above, Rare bugs most commonly spawn around the Bahari Forest regions. For that reason, we reccomend hunting in that area if you're hoping to farm Silk Thread.
We found particular luck in the Flooded Fortress region of Bahari Bay, where we collected several Vampire Crabs that dropped an average of around 4 Silk Threads each. The Vampire Crabs only spawn within the evening and night-time hours but you usually have enough time to farm between 5-8 of them.
These critters are speedy, so make sure you have a full supply of Smoke Bombs at the ready before farming for Silk Thread in Palia.
