I don't understand :0. Sure there might be more people, but at least it isn't repetitive. You could save up bugs and trade. You can ask your friendsor whoever, "hey I'll trade 20 bees for 1 green butterfly" (Cause you want that specific green butterfly mount, hat, net, or whatever)

You might try to collect all of a specific type of bug to complete that bugs set.
Example, I don't know how hard it is to get bees, but just going to set an amount, and it all depends on how rare the bug is.

Bee Hat, Bee body (does that already exist?), Bee mount (flys above water), bee bomb, etc.

There is a huge variety of bugs on iclassic. That's a lot of sets.

People can even show off their rare items, gained from the rarer bugs.

Edit:
If they wanted to go even further for more gameplay. They could even add limited edition sets by having (example) golden bugs spawn for a given time (1-2 weeks? all depends on how many people are playing)
