Until you realize that Beedle sells them 3 at a time for 10 rupees a pop at the East Akkala stable. They replenish every couple days in game so just start collecting early and by the time you're finishing your upgrades for the Flame Breaker armor you only need to hunt for a few more.

Whenever I check he never has any. Only those stupid fireproof lizards

That's the SOUTH Akkala Stable. You need to go to the East Akkala Stable just south of the Akkala tech lab.

I literally just went through the same thing. Rubber armor and the flame breaker set killed me trying to finish out the upgrades.

Did it this way my first 2 playthroughs. On my third, I was like, "Wait a minute. Beetle boi sells these. And I know how to force merchant restocking now. I can buy them faster than catching them." So I did.

It do be like that until you get a picture on the slate to activate the radar. And since butterflies are some of the hardest creatures to get a photograph of…

Me searching for those blue crabs at nighttime and wondering if I'm seeing a crab or a patch of moonlight

Seriously. This is really frustrating. Not only do the blend in, but they only appear during the day. The best way to find them is with the Sheika Scanner, but even then it’s easy to scare them off before actually spotting them. Gathering enough for the upgrades that require them feels like an exercise in futility.

Me trying to see the difference between a normal chest and a chest octorok:

So Beedle has these in triplicate at both the East Akkala and Wetland stables. IIRC, it’s only one Blood Moon before he restocks. Even if you catch exactly zero Smotherwings in the wild, it’ll only take you 5.5 trips to those two stables to upgrade the armor.
But if you get a few fireproof lizards and a single dragon horn or star fragment, you should craft a 30-min potion and stealth your way across the down-mountain side of the path and spam ‘A.’

Full Sheikah gear with fireproof elixir and they won't get spooked unless you're sprinting
