Catching These Bugs in Animal Crossing: New Horizons
The bugs leaving for the month range from cheap bugs like Grasshoppers to high priced critters like Queen Alexandra’s Birdwing, and it’s worth mentioning that this is likely to occur every month or so. There will be a rotation of sorts, so if players do miss out, it’s not the end of the world. Of course, players could just time travel in Animal Crossing: New Horizons if it’s that upsetting. Note: The majority of these bugs are related to the Southern Hemisphere. It is noted on the bug when it can also be found elsewhere.

While this bugs will need to be collected, it’s worth mentioning that one of the most profitable bug-catching ways is to start a Tarantula Island, where the spiders can be farmed for profit. Still, they’re not going anywhere, so Animal Crossing: New Horizons players should bag these bugs while they can.
Animal Crossing: New Horizons is out now for the Nintendo Switch.
