Torchbug

Torchbugs are small flying insects that cannot be attacked, but may be harvested for Insect Parts and occasionally Torchbug Thoraxes. They are most often found in swampy areas and caves, and are far more visible at night (or at any time when in caves).

Torchbugs usually emit a yellow light, although those some emit a red light, a purple light or a blue light instead, some examples being torchbugs in Apocrypha, the Gorge, Murkmire and Blackwood.
