New Bugs and Fish in July for North Hemisphere! (Sea Creatures Guide Added!)

[ProbablyNotJosuke]

Ah the bugs are gonna be such a pain but i’m here for it

 

[Le Ham]

I spent time up last night to catch the giant stag and several other beetles! I'm still missing the horned atlas, golden stag, cicada shell and walking stick! (its hours are so wonky ugh)

I've started collecting blue weevils for Flick to make a model of one. I think I just have a thing for the bright blue bugs and fish (Napoleonfish, rosalia batesi beetle, emperor butterfly, mahi mahi (kinda) and that dung beetle is starting to attract me ngl).

Blathers cracks me up! When I donated my grasshopper his comments: The wretched rude racket of horrible hoppers

 

[MelodyRivers]

So far I’ve caught a giant cicada, some various stag beetles, a walking leaf, the earth boring dung beetle, sweet fish, puffer fish Napoleon fish and sunfish

 

[ThomasNLD]

yeah i got really lucky, Flick chose today to visit me. So lots of bells for sure

Yeah thats big cash! I just realise now he was in my town as well, yet I dumped all my bugs in the dropbox. Thats like 200k I lost out on, lol. Ah well, I still earned a lot.

I'm just missing a few bugs and fish now. The Scarab Beetle, Giant Stag, Cyclommatus Stag, Giraffe Stag, Napoleonfish, and the Ocean Sunfish.

Hopefully I can get them before the new update, so I can solely focus on sea creatures.

The diving update dropped! I've looked through a list uploaded online from an hour ago with some creatures that were discovered, and I have compiled the list from availability for both North and South. If any info is missing or incorrect let me know!

 

[Nefarious]

Added more creatures to both lists and added shadow sizes for the ones that are known!

 

[Rosch]

@NefariousKing The sea cucumber is not available for Northern Hemisphere this month. Only for Southern.

 

[SugarMage]

Edit: Added the list for the Sea Creatures!!
Edit 2: Added more sea creatures and shadow sizes. Also added info about pearls and how obtaining the mermaid DIYs works.

Sadly there's no new fish or bugs arriving in July for the South Hemisphere.

Those in the North Hemisphere though, are you excited? There's alot of cicadas and beetles to catch, no doubt it's going to make the next Bug Off way more fun. Make sure you have plenty of palm trees so the beetles can spawn. I personally can't wait to catch the Horned Hercules and get the model from Flick, as it'll be another "Grand" model to collect!

Don't forget that new creatures are coming with the update on July 3rd. Both hemispheres will be able to dive and catch sea creatures! I'll be updating this with what I catch, and I hope the community can come together and compile their info for what they catch while diving in July here as well. Happy catching!

I honestly can't wait for the update, sure, it's just a small one, but one of my favorite part of Animal Crossing has always been filling the museum. How many new sea creatures will be added, how many will be available right away? Wonder if they'll add another tank in the aquarium part of the museum...

Thanks so much for this! Very helpful

Thanks for the diving list. Last night main Island player caught all the diving creatures for July. Two were hard to get.
2nd island main player caught all the bugs/fish and has 2 more diving creatures to go for July.

 

[Skandranon]

woot got at least one of each and most of the multiples i need. Still need to catch 3 more atlas and 4 more gold tough for pets and models

 

[Nefarious]

Fixed up the list for sea creatures. There were those that were missing in the South list and inaccuracies in the North one.

Minor correction: I think the Gigas Giant Clam's an XL shadow. Went back to compare it to my vid of catching a giant isopod and the shadow definitely seems larger.

Edit: Also think the Acorn Barnacle and Sea Slug are XS shadows, though could be wrong on that.
