Kamaeru: A Frog Refuge is a cozy farming sim that features over 500 distinct kinds of frogs to collect and register to your frogedex. While patterns and colorways are myriad, there’s actually just a handful of different species to find. Each type tends to prefer different bugs to eat, whether it be flies, diving beetles, caterpillars, or dragonflies. While most of these bugs aren’t tough to find, dragonflies are pretty rare from early on, making it tough to register uncommon Leopard frogs, among others. Here’s what you can do to get more dragonflies in Kamaeru.
How to Get More Dragonflies in Kamaeru: A Frog Refuge

At the start of Kamaeru, dragonflies are the toughest bugs to find in the wetlands. With a bit of effort to restore the area and increase biodiversity, you can attract more of these insects and, in turn, tame more species of frogs. You’ll want to start by adding more ponds and a variety of vegetation, which will bring the dragonfly population up by a small margin.
By completing objectives and filling out your frogedex, you’ll soon unlock more options to attract dragonflies. Moving forward, you can drastically increase their spawn rate by making megaponds and assigning helpers to catch certain types of bugs, including the elusive dragonfly.
Making Megaponds
As you work to better your bioscore in Kamaeru, digging megaponds is essential. Not only does this increase carbon capture, but it can also help you bring in a greater variety of bugs, including dragonflies. The catch: there are three megapond shapes, and each one attracts a certain type of insect. This means you’ll need to focus on just one shape to keep dragonflies spawning.

I had a tough time trying to figure out the shape combinations on my own, so I’m glad I took a screenshot of the initial tutorial. In line with the diagram, you’ll need two L-shaped ponds with smaller attachments to get the right shape going, as pictured above. If you haven’t already, you can purchase both the ponds you need from the shop in the wetlands and then map out where you’d like to place them.
Assigning Helpers
Once you’ve completed your objective to tame three new Doblex frogs, a new staff member named Jon will arrive at the refuge. He’ll set up at the mill in the wetlands, where you can assign him the task of collecting dragonflies.

To do this, just click on the main shop in the area, navigate to the Helpers tab, and choose the dragonfly option from the selection of insects Jon is able to catch. From there, he’ll work on catching five dragonflies at a time. Just bear in mind it’ll cost you 10 coins for his help.
The more you do to raise your bioscore and improve the reputation of the refuge, the more dragonflies and other bugs you’ll see roaming in Kamaeru‘s several biomes. Hop over to our growing Kamaeru: A Frog Refuge guides hub for more help with biodiversity levels and taming frogs.
