How to Get the Butterfly or Queen Beetle Set in Monster Hunter World

Monster Hunter World is currently hosting its Spring Blossom Event, which introduces a range of exciting content, including new armor sets for both male and female hunters. The Butterfly (male) and Queen Beetle (female) armor sets are now available for both genders, thanks to updates in this event. The event runs from April 6 to April 19, so now’s the time to earn these stylish new sets. Here’s how to unlock them:

Access the Vespoid Infestation! Arena Challenge

To unlock either the Butterfly (male) or Queen Beetle (female) armor sets, you need to complete a specific Arena challenge. Head over to the Gathering Hub and speak to the Arena Lass. From there, select the two-star challenge called Vespoid Infestation!.

This challenge tasks you with slaying 30 Vespoid within 50 minutes, so it’s a relatively straightforward challenge, perfect for building up your resources.

Complete Arena Challenge: Vespoid Infestation!

Once you start the challenge, you’ll need to select your starting equipment. While the choice is yours, the Insect Glaive works very well for this challenge, as it offers good mobility and reach. Whatever set you choose, make sure you’re comfortable with it.

Inside the Arena, you’ll see a Pukei-Pukei, but you don’t need to worry about fighting it. Instead, focus on killing the Vespoids that spawn throughout the area. Stay near the upper portions of the Arena, and move in a clockwise or counterclockwise direction, efficiently eliminating the Vespoids as they spawn.

Once you’ve killed all 30 Vespoid, the challenge will conclude, and you’ll be rewarded with the Spring Insect Field Guide. This is what you need to unlock the Butterfly or Queen Beetle set.

Craft the Butterfly or Queen Beetle Set

Now that you’ve completed the Arena challenge, it’s time to craft your new armor set. To do so, head to the Smithy with your Spring Insect Field Guide, and you’ll be able to craft either the Butterfly (for male hunters) or Queen Beetle (for female hunters) set. The set is composed of several pieces:

• Vertex: 1x Spring Insect Field Guide, 1x Great Hornfly, 1x Vespoid Shell, 1x Monster Fluid
• Thorax: 1x Spring Insect Field Guide, 1x Great Hornfly, 1x Vespoid Wing, 1x Monster Fluid
• Brachia: 1x Spring Insect Field Guide, 1x Great Hornfly, 1x Vespoid Shell, 1x Monster Fluid
• Elytra: 1x Spring Insect Field Guide, 1x Great Hornfly, 1x Vespoid Wing, 1x Monster Fluid
• Crura: 1x Spring Insect Field Guide, 1x Great Hornfly, 1x Vespoid Shell, 1x Monster Fluid

Each piece requires the Spring Insect Field Guide and other materials such as Vespoid Shell, Vespoid Wing, Monster Fluid, and Great Hornfly, all of which you’ll gather during the challenge.

This armor set is classified as Low Rank and has a rarity of 3, making it suitable for early to mid-game progression.
