Where do you get carpenter bugs on monster hunter freedom unite?

Your felyne can find them depending on how far you are I would guess stars

1-3 you can find them in various bug spots in your farm in the first area on the snowy mountains to the west near the exit. Believe me the same thing happened with me.

You can get carpenter bugs buy getting a mega bugnet and find it almost everywhere there are those firefly things. I normally just bring my gathering felyne, do a gathering mission on the snowy mountains, there should be a gathering spot in the area 2 and both of us try to find some, then i just keep trying. You can buy one at the Pokke village.
