Northern Hemisphere
Players in the Northern Hemisphere only have one bug they’ll be losing after May, andthat is the Mole Cricket. This bug cannot be normally seen, only heard. Due to it being acclimated for colder temperatures, this bug will be leaving northern islands inAnimal Crossing: New Horizonsas soon as spring hits.
Mole crickets sell for 500 bells at Nook’s Cranny and can be found all day.
Southern Hemisphere
As the weather begins to cool down in the Southern Hemisphere,bugs that prefer the sun’s warmthare going to be leaving when June comes around. There are 10 bugs that need to be caught before the end of May and they are:
Some of these bugs are known to flee upon being approached. Players having trouble catching the more skittish bugs can hold the a button to hold their nets and walk slower as they approach their target. If players do miss out on catching any of these bugs before the month is up, they can get in contact with a player located on the opposite hemisphere to catch bugs on their island instead.
Catching all the bugs willnet players the Gold Net. This net is the sturdiest of all the nets and can be used over 200 times before breaking.
