Tous Les Insectes Animal Crossing New Horizon

Okay, imagine this: you're me, bleary-eyed at 3 AM (don't judge my sleep schedule!), desperately trying to catch a tarantula before it inevitably bites you and you wake up back at your house. Why? Because I need to pay off Tom Nook, obviously. And also, because that little completionist voice in my head won’t shut up until my museum is overflowing with creepy-crawlies. That's how I realized: I'm addicted to bug-catching in Animal Crossing: New Horizons.

And if you're reading this, chances are, you are too. Or you're at least considering it! So, let's dive into the wonderful, sometimes terrifying, world of tous les insectes in Animal Crossing: New Horizons. Get your net ready!

Why Bother with Bugs?

Besides the whole crippling debt thing (thanks, Nook), there are a ton of reasons to dedicate your time to catching bugs:

Bells! Seriously, some bugs are super valuable. Flick will pay you even MORE. Think of all the cute furniture you can buy!
Museum Donations: You HAVE to fill up that museum, right? Blathers might be a bit dramatic about the whole thing, but he's secretly thrilled (I think?).
Crafting: Certain bugs are needed for crafting recipes. Like, who knew you'd need a common butterfly to make a butterfly wallpaper? Mind. Blown.
It's... Fun? Okay, maybe not for everyone. But there’s a weird satisfaction in sneaking up on a rare bug and finally catching it. It's like a mini-achievement unlocked every time!

Bug Basics: What You Need to Know

So, you're convinced (or at least mildly curious). Here's the lowdown:

Your Net is Your Best Friend: Obviously. Don't leave home without it!
Seasons Matter: Bug appearances vary greatly depending on the season and time of day. Some only show up at night, others only in summer. The dedication!
Location, Location, Location: Certain bugs prefer specific habitats. Water bugs live, well, in the water. Others love flowers. Experiment!
Sneak Up! Use the A button to slowly approach skittish bugs. Otherwise, they'll fly away before you can even swing your net. Trust me, I’ve learned this the hard way.

Some Noteworthy Nuisances (and Treasures)

Let’s be honest, some bugs are just annoying. Looking at you, Sea Butterfly! But others are worth the hunt.

The Tarantula/Scorpion: Terrifying but lucrative! Approach with caution (and a full net!). Seriously, I still have nightmares.
The Agrias Butterfly: Beautiful AND valuable. Always a welcome sight.
The Atlas Moth: A giant, gorgeous moth that's actually pretty easy to find on trees. Score!
The Scarab Beetle: This shiny beetle is a late-night treasure hunter's dream. It shows up on palm trees on your island.

Remember, patience is key! Don't get discouraged if you don't find what you're looking for right away. Keep exploring, keep catching, and soon you'll have a museum bursting at the seams with your buggy bounty. Happy hunting! And try not to get bitten by too many tarantulas… or maybe do. It's all part of the experience, right?
