Tarantulas and Scorpions

[twinkinator]

thanks! i have a fountain now, so can you still get them? can a tarantula jump and get you if your on the bus stop?

 

[MrChuckman64]

wait, tarantulas and scorpions can't climb the bus stop? didn't know that one, but i haven't caught either of them yet. although, i came like a CF cm close to catching a scorpion, i got about 10-15 paces above it, then pulled out my net. i heard it coming, then i saw it, i swung, but i missed because it was too fast, but i barely missed it. i hope that helps in some way!

Easy. Have your net out late at night, and do not pull it out near either bug. walk up to them very slowly, like you would with a rare beetle on a coconot tree, and when you're close enough, swing at them. You've got one chance and if you miss you're dead.

Good luck.

They are so hard to catch, but all this advice is really helpful, thanks
time to catch em

haven't found one since this topic was started. how rare are they? (how often is there 1 in your town)

 

[MrChuckman64]

it's very random on how rare they are.

 

[JasonBurrows]

In my opinion, these two bugs are the hardest bugs to catch in the game.

In my opinion, next to Bees, they are

I usually find both of them once per night at around 9pm sometimes I see 2 of one of them, they bite me everytime, even if I leave them alone...

i caught a scorpion last night! the thing was behind my crazy ramp that goes up to my cliff, so i stood near the bottom of the ramp, just enough where there was still a tiny bit of height above the ground. then i pulled my net out and ran in place to make it mad and charge me. being the stupid scorpion it is, it didn't think of using the ramp, so it just ran up against the side of the cliff. so, then, i swiped it right there!

I'm gonna try that
cuase trying to swap it right b4 it bites you is not working at all

 

[FITZEH]

I have been bitten countless times.

 

[blueturbo]

I haven't seen any for ages. There are too many jewel beetles and fruit beetles.

 

[PanamaJack]

Yeah, I got the scorpion about 2 nights ago on the side of the cliff's ramp. It was the first one I've seen but read much about the best method for catching (side of cliff ramp). Only need the tarantula to finish off the June-July insects.

Problem is, most times that I see it, it kamikaze's into water and only once has it bit me. Two or three times I've messed up opportunities to catch it.

Yes, well too many fruit beetles. Hardly see the jewel beetles and only seen one scarab beetle, the only scarab beetle I've caught.

 

[MrChuckman64]

ive seen about 3 or 4 scarabs, but not in one night. i need to catch an arowana, but i don't know what the shadow looks like or anything. i need to catch all the latenight things before school starts though... luckily, ive caught all the coconut beetles. i just need a tarantula i think.

 

[twinkinator]

no more july fish for me, but fyi wii master 64 arowana's shadow is sorta like a carp' shadow (i think). I've caught 2 arowanas, but its been a while.

all i need for bugs is tarantula, and peacock butterfly
