As my island is open i managed to go there for a bit before i had to go back out again, and guess what? They had the wet suit there!!
Now i can start on diving and such and managed to get 40 medals to buy it! Whoop! Roll on after 7pm where all the decient bugs are to add to the bug collecting book to!

It's actually 5pm the beetles come around.

I think it's actually 4 when they come around. The only problem is there is a certain number of bugs that can be on the island at one time. So, you have to chase all of the grasshoppers off of the island or catch them, along with the tiger beetles and wharf roaches. It's easier later on, when there's only the Emperor butterfly, aside from the beetles.

Yeah, on other games after getting all the earlier bugs and such i used to cut the trees down on the little island and remove bushes so the rarer bugs would spawn and that works!

Day 1 Summary:
Rode the Train In
Talked to Rover
Found a pretty decent town.
Natie fruits are apple, snow are circles.

Collected all the apples, sold them, except for Perfect Apple.
Sold the Monkey Isabelle gave me.
Collected Fossils, donated them.
Bough Shovel and Fishing Rod.

Gave me down payment to Nook.

Off to start Day 2... after some lunch!

 

[SensaiGallade]

Can I visit someone's island for bug catching?

 

[fenris]

I am awake, I've done some chores, and now I need to begin the process of time-traveling one day at a time while resetting for dreamies, or at least villagers I can sell for some TBT or adopt out. Fingers crossed.

ETA: I'd like to note that I'm going to stop TTing once my date and time in-game match the real world date and time.

Has anyone got any perfect apples going spare? I only need one. Phoebe decided to move in and destroy my perfect apple tree, which hadn't grown any fruit yet. Fml.

I can give you one once my tree grows!

Thank you!!
Side note: I've made a tiny little hybrid garden, trying to breed myself some purple roses. I've planted them like this:
xoxox
oxoxo
xoxox X=Flower O=Empty

How do you guys plant your hybrid gardens? Does the orientation make a difference?

I just slam em next to each other and water each flower twice.

Ik I seen. I seen it and was going to post that you were looking for Marshal and notify you but I was too late...

Awww, that sucks. But he's in high enough demand that another will come up soon, so don't fret too much, okay?

Ahh, just got a PM from her saying she's using a Powersave to dupe him or something. I'm completely against cheating and stuff, so I'm actually pretty happy that I didn't get him, in a way.

 

[Venn]

Does anyone have a good way to keep track of available fishes and bugs?

Yikes. Yeah, definitely for the best. You'll get him eventually.

If you've got an iPhone, there's an app I use called "Guide for Animal Crossing NL."

It's free, and you can use it to keep track of critters you've caught, items you've catalogued, PWPs you've unlocked, and what villagers you have (and when their birthdays are), among other things. It might be available for other phones, but I'm not sure. Search the app store for "acnl guide" and you'll find it.

I actually do! Yesterday I created a Google Drive spreadsheet with all the details of all bugs, fish and sea creatures! I really want everyone to use it so I pm'd Kit and asked him to give his thoughts as well as post it on the threads front page but I haven't got a reply yet... I'm hoping to get a reply soon though.

I'll look into that!
