Why catch bugs? -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Why catch bugs? WHY CATCH BUGS!?!?! "Slaps the reader" Catching bugs had many rewards, such as the "Golden Net". "Ha ha! I can see your eyes sparkling with glee!" The Golden Net marks the skill of a true player. ...that and the golden fishing rod....BUT NO ONE CARES ABOUT FISH! Also you will get a little house decoration (A butterfly) on the side of your house. And the ability to go up to your best friend and say..."Ha!!!! I got all the bugs!! NE NE NE-Ne NEEE! Ha ha ha ha *cough* ha *cough*h.ugh..*cough*..he..hhhe...*falls over*" ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- 2. What is bug catching? ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- It's when you catch a bug ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- 3. R E A D T H I S F I R S T !! ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- I'm listing this in a way of "Months" each Month new Bugs and incects come out and other go away. This lists when, where, and how you can catch them. They also come out at different times, Dawn, Day-Morning, Day-Afternoon, Evening, Night-Early, and Night-late ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- 4.

Catching certain bugs, and special coditions ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Ok, ok, we all no it's hard to catch ALL the bugs? But why? It's because of those DUMB, STUPID Bagworms and spiders!!! Heres a list on "HOW" to catch all the really strange bugs. Bee - There are 3 bee's Every day. They are in 3 seperate tree's in your town, when you shake one of the bee trees, bees will fall out, they will cycle around the tree 2 or 3 times, either the 2nd or 3rd (I fogot wich) time they fly around, swipe your net at them. Note: You need to stand behind the tree (Thanks Nintendo magazine) Bagworm: These are annoying as English class. You can here them...but where are they? Why they're buried silly! dig and dig and dig in the acre you hear them in loudest, and they will eventualy crawl on out. Don't lose sight of them! Catch em' with your net!!!! Note: I hate the Bagworm Spider: Hairy, creepy, crawly, yup they're in Animal Crossing. Spiders are in Trees, Sometimesthey randomly fall out, with out you even doing anything, sometimes you have to shake a treefor them to fall on out, these are EXTREMELY hard to find, so you find one, YOU CATCH IT!!!!!! Mole Cricket: Same as the Bagworm Note: I hate the Bagworm Snail: Snails appear on rocks, they are extremely rare, and they CAN get away from you! (Go figure)\ Pillbug: These are invisible. They are hiddin in rocks, you can tell wich rocks they are in, bywatching your villiagers stare at them. Just hit the rock and out pops a pillbug (Now visisble) Just catch it with your net. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 6. Frequently asked Questions ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Q: Bagworms are dumb A: Yes I know Q: Do mosquito bites affect me at all? A: No, not that I'm aware of. Q: Uhh...I cut down all my trees, can I still get bees? A: No, either go to a friends town, or plant some new trees. Q: How do I catch pillbugs?
