A butterfly net is an item used in the Hunter skill. It is wielded to capture implings, and butterflies or moths throughout Gielinor and Puro-Puro, and bats in the Chambers of Xeric. Catching an impling without an impling jar will automatically loot it, and catching a butterfly or moth without a butterfly jar will automatically release it. A jar is required to keep them for later use.

The magic butterfly net is an upgraded butterfly net that requires 17 Hunter to obtain, and increases the player's chances of capturing butterflies, implings, and bats[1] by about 7.8%.[2]

Butterfly nets and jars may be bought from Aleck's Hunter Emporium. in Yanille, the Nardah Hunter Shop in Nardah, or Imia's Supplies in the Hunter Guild. Alternatively, they can also be obtained from a hunter kit, which is obtained by casting the Hunter Kit spell on the Lunar spellbook, requiring a Magic level of 71. A butterfly net can also be obtained for free from a crate in the north-east corner of Lan the Butcher's house at Land's End.

Elnock Inquisitor located inside Puro-Puro will give you a starter set consisting of 1 butterfly net, 7 impling jars, and an impling scroll.

Players can right-click this net to open the Impling Tracker, which tracks how many implings they've caught both in Puro-Puro and the surface world.

Trivia

  • Despite it not being a sharp weapon, the butterfly net can slash webs, cut Kharidian cacti, and cut bananas into banana slices.
  • When equipped by the player, the net seems to be the wrong way round to perform a catch.
