MattFish Feb 2023 9:38am, 13 Feb 2023 First-time poster!!	0 MattFish Question from a noob: Does chronology matter to bugs - i.e. Do you have to collect a bug then go out of your circle after, or is it enough that you leave your circle at some point on your run?
Bright Strider Feb 2023 9:51am, 13 Feb 2023 322 posts	0 Bright Strider It doesn't matter. You have to go out of the circle: that is it. But make sure you do go out by going a bit further than is strictly necessary. If you're using GPS, GPS and where you went might disagree. If you go further, the scope for disagreement on whether you went out of the circle becomes less. You'll see from earlier discussion in this thread that it is easy to just miss going out of the circle, and indeed to forget about going out, because you were distracted. Given the risk of distraction, it is good practice to go through the bug and then go out of the circle.

jelly Feb 2023 11:30am, 17 Feb 2023 4,739 posts	0 jelly Yes and then sometimes I get frustrated with it all and realise I take the game too seriously keeping my circle bug free! I had a bit of a meltdown yesterday out on my run! I did think about leaving but came to the conclusion maybe I just take it too seriously!
jelly Feb 2023 11:32am, 17 Feb 2023 4,740 posts	0 jelly So I didn’t get yesterdays bug, todays is too far and I’m going away for the weekend! I will be out in the countryside which makes big catching harder, I thought I’d just leave them too it, and try not to stress 😂
