Following Samin's hint, your search for the Rime Beetle leads to the Iceshard Cliffs region. However, simply setting a waypoint won't suffice. Instead, rely on keen observation and a bit of luck. These endemic creatures are identifiable by their characteristic snowballs. Look for these in snowy areas.

Specifically, explore Areas 2, 7, 8, 11, and 13 within the Iceshard Cliffs. Keep an eye out for the rolling snowballs, or follow any tracks in the snow—they'll lead you to your target.

While you can collect the Rime Beetle manually, capturing it is the objective. Equip your Capture Net (usually found in your equipment list; access it by holding L1/LB and selecting with Square/X). Aim with L2/LT, wait for the orange target indicator, and fire. This adds the Rime Beetle to your collection, completing Samin's request. Alternatively, manually collecting them yields Frost Pods for inflicting ice damage.
