You do not have to watch your inventory space as all bugs caught during the round will be teleported to the bug cage in Flick's tent. If you catch something you want to keep (museum donation, model commission), you can retrieve the bugs from the cage by interacting with it after the timer is off. You can sell the bugs in the cage to Flick for 1.5x the regular price.
