Island Bug Catcher's Algorithm

[jesughs]

So I found this interesting and very useful post earlier.

I'm going to test the theory later on tonight or tomorrow morning. What do you guys think of this? Will you try it yourselves? It makes sense to me.

 

[Officer Berri]

Oh that's very interesting! When I get the island tomorrow I'll check it out myself!

 

[Punchyleaf]

Ill be trying this to test it out. Just pick up your fruit and replant it again if it doesn't work ^^

Jesughs, another great link! Many thanks!

This works! That's how I catch beetle's easier.. I also think that emperor butterflies are attracted to the bushes

 

[Cottonball]

I shall try it~

 

[Polar Android]

Seems pretty logical. I'll have to try it when I can get to the island.

I'll repost what I posted on there:

I’ve had more than two beetles at a time. Sometimes there will be three in a row on the same side of the island, but it doesn’t happen very often.

What I did on my island was remove all the flowers, all fruit/regular trees and the shrubs. Then remove the palm trees near the bottom of the beach to make it easier to go to each side without scaring any beetles. I go through the middle, up the left side then down to the middle again and up the right side. If no beetles appear after doing this for a few times, I go inside the hut and then back outside.

To increase the chances of a beetle appearing, make to scare away all other insects that spawn. Wharf Roaches and Tiger Beetles will still spawn.

This is pretty much what Kohei was saying in the 400k bells in 30 minutes video. Cut down the middle trees, circle the palm trees and go in and out of the hut when they stop appearing.

brb going to the island let's test this out

 

[Flutterfairy]

Yep, it works. You just have to scare away the little crawly bug and hermit crabs to get a respawned beetle.

 

[oath2order]

YES IT WORKS AND IT IS GLORIOUS.

 

[chistraub]

Thank you soooo much for this! I will have all of my house payments done in no time!

 

[oath2order]

I suck at bug catching, but this worked excellently.

 

[Kelexo]

Wow this is awesome! Thanks for the tip! I made around 500k in one trip!

 

[Gandalf]

Going to try this o-

Oh yeah I don't have new leaf yet.. I hate this waiting

Kohei (LinandKo) did this too, but he really removed the trees, and it works!

 

[violetneko]

It works great! You should watch for Giant and Rainbow stags on the interior trees!

Oh, also, the 2 beetle maximum is false. I had three beetles; one on the banana tree, and two on the interior trees.
