I have had 3 in a row of the island with rare flowers (purple and orange roses?) which are not great. The best I can really get to spawn during the day is those paper butterflys and the jewel beetles on the stumps.

I mostly go after 7pm and there are a few islands I've had luck on. Obviously tarantula island is the best as you can fill your inventory in no time. Bamboo island is my next favorite because you can gut the whole island and have a huge area to work with. The islands with water start to make it difficult to maneuver (plus they introduce giant water bugs) and the ones with a step up can take forever.
To clear an island I pick all the flowers and weeds, chop down all the trees and dig up all the stumps, eat fruit and break all the rocks, pick up all seashells and dig up any fossils. Then I dump everything on the beach in one of the corners of the map. Next I dig a diamond in a 5x5 area in the middle of the map or a big open area depending on the map. Then just run around scaring all the lesser bugs (roaches that spawn on the black rocks in the top corner of the map and those tiger beetle things) until the tarantula's spawn.
