Animal Crossing players in the Northern Hemisphere won’t have too much added to their plate if they have caught all the bugs up until this point. Only three new bugs have been added this month and two of them were available earlier in the year, so anyone who has been dutifully collecting bugs in the Northern Hemisphere since the game’s launch will only have one bug to add to their collection this month. This should be a fairly relaxing month for players in the Northern Hemisphere given the number of fish added to New Horizons this month was also on the small side.

Southern Hemisphere players have six new bugs to catch this month. Two of these new bugs are great money makers that players will want to watch out for if they’re not already rolling in bells by this point in the New Horizon’s life cycle. Without further ado though, here are the new bugs players should be watching out for this month:
Northern Hemisphere
Emperor Butterfly
Location: Flying Time: 5pm - 8am Sell Price: 4,000 bells
Rajah Brooke’s Birdwing
Location: Flying Time: 8am - 5pm Sell Price: 2,500 bells
Dung Beetle
Location: On the ground, rolling snowballs around Time: All Day Sell Price: 3,000 bells
Southern Hemisphere
Emperor Butterfly
Location: Flying Time: 5pm - 8am Sell Price: 4,000 bells
Firefly
Location: Flying Time: 7pm - 4am Sell Price: 300 bells
Drone Beetle
Location: On trees Time: All Day Sell Price: 200 bells
Goliath Beetle
Location: On coconut trees Time: 5pm to 8am Sell Price: 8,000 bells
Rainbow Stag
Location: On trees Time: 7pm - 8am Sell Price: 6,000 bells
Mosquito
Location: Flying Time: 5pm - 4am Sell Price: 130 bells
That’s all that’s been added in terms of bugs to the game this month. Southern Hemisphere players should be aware however that several bugs will be leaving come January though. Those bugs are the common butterfly, yellow butterfly, peacock butterfly, firefly, ladybug, violin beetle, pill bug, and centipede. These bugs should be a priority to anyone trying to complete their collection in New Horizons. Northern Hemisphere players will not have to worry, though, as no bugs will be leaving in the next month.
Players looking to make money off these new bugs will want to focus on snagging the emperor butterflies, as both are newly available this month for players all over the world. Players in the Southern Hemisphere, however, can make even more bells by focusing on goliath beetles, rare though they are. Any new players will also want to take note of New Horizon’s new special character Flick, who will buy bugs off of them for 50% more than their listed price. Happy catching!
