If you've forgotten the clue provided by Samin, your search for the Rime Beetle leads you to the Iceshard Cliffs region. Unlike setting a simple waypoint, finding this creature isn't straightforward. You'll need to rely on your observation skills and a bit of luck.

The Rime Beetle is known for rolling up balls of packed snow, making it easier to spot in snowy areas. Focus your search in the Iceshard Cliffs' Areas 2, 7, 8, 11, and 13. As you traverse these snowy terrains, keep an eye out for the beetle's distinctive snowballs. Additionally, following any tracks you find in the snow can lead you straight to your target.

Capturing the Rime Beetle requires more than just picking it up. You'll need to use your Capture Net, which should already be part of your gear. To equip it, hold L1/LB and cycle through your options until you reach the Capture Net. Press Square/X to select it, then aim with L2/LT.

Once the Rime Beetle is in your sights and the crosshairs turn orange, fire to capture it. Successfully doing so will add the Rime Beetle to your collection and fulfill Samin's request. If you choose to collect it manually, you'll obtain Frost Pods, useful for inflicting ice damage in Monster Hunter Wilds.
