The Dragonfly is one of the rarest and most coveted pets in Grow a Garden, known for its Divine rarity and eye-catching appearance. It was added on May 3, 2025 during the Animal Update (version 1.04.0), and it quickly became popular because of its standout visual and useful ability. Since it’s rare (and the egg is expensive), you will be one of the rare gardeners having this bright golden, flying pet. Know more about it in this quick guide.
How to Get the Dragonfly in Grow a Garden Roblox
Getting a Dragonfly takes patience and persistence because it has a hatch chance of only 1%. It can only be hatched from Bug Eggs, which themselves appear in the shop just three percent of the time. Plus, each egg costs 50 million Sheckles, so there’s a lot of money-making players need to do beforehand.
Once you get a Bug Egg and are lucky enough to obtain a Dragonfly from it (the odds are 1/3,333), you’re all set to get richer from your garden. That’s because every ~5 minutes, one random crop will turn gold. Note that this also means that your Rainbow fruits could turn Golden, so plan your harvests accordingly.
This effect applies to all standard and seasonal plants but excludes Mushrooms. As you already know, Golden crops sell for higher prices, so the Dragonfly in Grow a Garden can significantly boost your Sheckles income over a long harvesting session.
To make the most of the Dragonfly’s power, plant high-value crops like pumpkins, grapes, dragon fruits, or seasonal event plants in large batches, then focus your harvest runs to match the five-minute interval of the pet’s ability. Caring for the Dragonfly is simple—its hunger meter caps at 100,000, so keep feeding it to help it grow.
While the Dragonfly doesn’t improve seed drop rates or speed up growth, its ability to provide golden fruits makes it ideal for players focused on profit. The other pets in your garden can focus on other effects, boosting your overall progress.
The Animals update that came after the Hungry Plant update added a lot of Pets and Eggs, and here’s what you should know about them, including the Praying Mantis. You can also use this Pets Tier list to know which pet animals will be most beneficial for your garden.
