I'm pretty sure there are some specific autumn and winter bugs, not sure what they are though. There's a list on GameFAQs.

Are you sure you're only 13 away? It seems like you caught those 51 bugs awfully fast...

Last night I caught the last three Palm Tree beetle, Atlas, Hercules and Gold Stag.

I'm a bug catching master!

*Does not appear during rain.

**Does not appear when the gate is open.

I'm pretty sure I have a Monarch. I might have mixed it up with Emperor, though. I'll have to check.

[Mop it up]

I'll have to come and check what the walking leaf looks like so I know what it is I'm looking for. I have yet to see one though it is one of the ones which doesn't appear when the gate is open so that's probably why.

I missed the mole cricket back when it was available so I'll have to wait until November before it appears again.

I decided to make an inventory so I don't miss something which will soon not be available. I have 15 more bugs to get and 13 more fish. All of the bugs left which are currently available are ones which don't appear when the gate is open which probably explains why I don't have them yet. The only fish I don't have which is currently available is the arapaima, which I believe Maxi got one not too long ago.

[BeautifulShy]

Yep I got that a few days ago in the river.

[Mop it up]

Do you remember what time of day?

[BeautifulShy]

OMG I just caught an Arapiama.

There you go. It was 8:44:29 pm

[Djunknown]

Finally got my windmill today, its not a bad site. It even lights up when it gets dark. It sadly takes up one chunk of land near the mouth of the river, but its a small price to pay for LUXURY.

The lucky mojo continued as Nook finally had a silver net for sale! So now all my equipment is silver except the slingshot, which is gold, but who's counting?

It does seem a bit easier catching some insects, as I caught a fly from the boot (anybody want it?) the first try.

The endless porcupine drama continues After confronting Labelle about her real name, she goes on to talk in a more relaxed dialect. She realizes the pain she has caused her sisters, and wants to work it out. But not before she learns from Gracie, and becomes a famous fashion designer like her mentor. This is one heck of a side quest...

[Stratos]

Do you only get the sidequest when you talk to both the Able Sisters and the others at Gracies?

I'm not finding flies in my trash. Is it only the boot or can the tire of can get flies as well?

[GoldenPhoenix]

Sad I want a silver fishing pole.

[Stratos]

I want the silver net. What do the silver net/rod do exactly? Do more rare bugs and fish appear or something?

[BeautifulShy]

I think those make it easier to catch fish.

[EasyCure]

I got stung by 5 bees yesterday..

[GoldenPhoenix]

I hate mosquitoes, I don't know how many times I've been close to catching a fish and they freaken bite me.

[EasyCure]

I don't have that problem, somehow. I just hate the bee sings because I used to be good at catching the damn things in the GC version of the game, now i've only caught maybe 1 bee to date... grr! On top of that, i hate the townsfolks remarks about my face lol they hurt my characters feelings

[Stratos]

My pirate eye patch covers most of the damage damage from bee attacks, but the other animals always seem to notice it. It's like they can smell my pain.

They probably just notice the BULGE in the eye patch.

I noticed that Labelle was sighing after I've bought a lot of stuff at GracieGrace. That could be the catalyst...

Since they're clearing out the inventory to make way for the fall line-up, buy out the the new furniture set when you get the chance?

I believe they're a time specific bug. I still have my boot out, and it comes in the afternoon-evening.

I think those make it easier to catch fish.

True. They will come to your bobber easier than the normal pole.

[Mop it up]

According to GameFAQs it should appear around all three garbage items as well as spoiled turnips. It also says they are available all day though I didn't think they came out at night...

I hate mosquitoes, I don't know how many times I've been close to catching a fish and they freaken bite me.

One of the nice things about playing with others is that mosquitoes don't appear!

[EasyCure]

I left a boot out and had flies appear some time after 8pm when i was playing sunday night. If that helps.

[Djunknown]

New month, new goals!

The fall line-up at Gracie's is here, and it looks sweet, literally! Looks like I have my next goal, and with beetle season still in effect, this shouldn't take too long...

Also have a new design that goes well with a Mario hat if you have one. Slap on a Mario Mustache, and you'll be the spitting image of him! Ask about it, next you see me!

[BeautifulShy]

I'll have to get the design from you. Probably should change my hair color to match.

Anybody got that hairstyle guide for Shampoodles shop?

[EasyCure]

I got one maxi, its on my internet. Lemme find it for you

[Stele]

Do you only get the sidequest when you talk to both the Able Sisters and the others at Gracies?

Getting clothing rated by Gracie 3 times, being "friends" with the Able sisters, and having Nookington's are the main things you need.  The other requirements are littlie things like speaking to Pelly once.

Anyone interested in some AC tonight? I got no work today, tomorrow and Thursday. Surprising and prone to change, but we'll see what happens.
