'''Bugs''' can be a little harder to collect compared to fish. With fish you know they will be in the water, however bugs are found in a number of different places throughout your town. | '''Bugs''' can be a little harder to collect compared to fish.

#In trees.<br />Bees are the most common bugs to be found inside tress. In order to get the bees you have to shake the tree and wait for the beehive to fall out. When this happens you only have a few seconds to catch one. If you fail to catch a bee you will be stung in the face. The bee sting can be cured by taking medicine or by saving your game. Once to return to the game the sting will be gone. Spiders are also found by shaking trees, although this isn’t as regular as bees. | #In trees.<br />Bees are the most common bugs to be found inside tress.

#On trees.<br />A lot of bugs are found sitting on the tree trunks. Sometimes they can blend in and are hard to see so it’s a good idea to walk around slowly if you want to catch them. Just like fish, they bugs will fly (or run) away if you scare them. The best way to catch bugs on trees is to slowly approach the tree from the front then when your characters head is approximately half way up the trunk swing the net. You should also have a few palm trees on your beach as a number of beetles can only be found on this type of tree. | #On trees.<br />A lot of bugs are found sitting on the tree trunks.

#By garbage.<br /> | #By garbage.<br />Although it is a bad idea to leave garbage lying around in your town this can be a good way to attract flies. Flies are hard to stop but they have a loud buzzing noise. If you leave out garbage or spoiled turnips flies will be attracted to them. Spoiled turnips also attract ants. | ||

It’s a good idea to keep your volume up, as this is the only way to locate the stop they are at. You will have to dig a few holes before the bug shows itself. Once the bug is above ground you can catch it with your net. | ||

In the evenings and at night you will find Moths flying around the lighted windows and lights is your town. | ||
#Near lights.<br /> | #On the ground.<br />One of the most common places you will find bugs is on the ground. You will find more bugs on the ground in spring and summer than in winter. With some bugs you will find yourself chasing them around before catching them. The best way is to slowly walk toward them so you don’t scare them away. | ||

This is an easy way to catch this bug. Simply swing you net at the villager and you will catch a flea. Be careful when hitting villagers with nets (and other tools). If you hit them when they don’t have fleas you will make them angry. | ||
#On the ground.<br /> | #On flowers.<br />Snails, Honeybees, butterflies and other bugs can be found on or around flowers so it makes sense to have a good variety in your town. | ||

#Donate them to the museum.<br /> | #Donate them to the museum.<br />The museum is empty until you start donating things. Blathers will accept a newly caught bug from you, as long as you haven’t already donated that specific breed (you will quickly discover that Blathers has a fear of bugs!). When you donate a bug to Blathers he’ll tell you a number of facts about it, which usually includes the thing that disgusts him the most about it! Once you’ve donated the bug you can check the Bug section of the museum and see all the bugs you have donated. | ||
