I would buy a bug for myself if I planned to move it 0.9 miles every day for a while. But I'm not that obsessed. yet. There's infinte points to be gained from running an extra 100m to get an extra coin, so why bother with bugs unless you're obsessively tidy in a virtual world?

Moved my bugs which meant my 6.50 pm penalties tripled but I have now squished 5 and moved the other 3 onto the border :-)

Just did 4.2m instead of 4m and then realised when I uploaded the bug I thought was on the railway crossing was actually on the rail junction - one has to acquire map reading skills too!
Will check with satelite vew next time.

Can not make up my mind about the bugs in the fields- some of my neighbours really resent walkers/ runners in their fields I have been down all the footpaths. I m surrounded by field s so if I reported them wouldn t I just end up with more in more fields.

Hoping to get home tonignt early to go on bike ride to pick up a garmangle in a neighbouring area.

lak - I have a similar problem being surrounded by numerous fields that I cannot legally access. My approach, if in doubt, is to try and hit bugs from the adjoining roads and/or footpaths (taking short diversions off the path where possible and reasonable) but not to be shy about reporting those I know that I can't reach that way. Every time you report a bug it moves from its original location to another closer to 'home' - sometimes you have to report it two or three times for it to respawn in a safe/legally accessible location. You don't end up with more bugs - just the same number closer to you. This all seems perfectly reasonable to me.

Obviously the same approach can be adopted for bugs hiding in factories, schools, golf courses, airfields, military bases, rivers, motorways, lakes, the sea, anywhere that cannot be legally or safely be approached to within about 80m.
