The Lavafly is a critter that can be used as bait to fish in lava.

Lavaflies will spawn occasionally in the Underworld at night. They can be caught with a Lavaproof Bug Net or Golden Bug Net to be carried around and released later, or put in a bottle to be used as furniture and a light source.

Attempting to catch a Lavafly with a standard Bug Net will not work, resulting in 1 damage taken and being inflicted with Burning for 5 seconds.

Trivia

• Like Fireflies, Lavaflies are difficult to see in the Underworld at high resolutions, appearing as a blinking speck on the screen.

The Bestiary entry for the Lavafly: "A variation of firefly which adapted to the intense conditions of the world's infernal core. It mimics sparking embers."
