How to Catch

Raja Brooke's are strange in the fact that they are attracted to freshwater and not flowers however this makes them tricky to catch as they will fly from one side of the water to the next. They are also quite fast so they have a possibility of escaping. If you wait till it get near the edge of the water and swing your net then you have a good chance of catching it.
