Remember, remember, it’s the month of November, Thanks Giving, Black Friday, and Frost; whilst I might be messing, you shouldn’t be stressing with our Animal Crossing: New Horizons November Bugs and Fish Guide!
Or alternatively, dear reader, to put that in less pretentious words; it’s a brand new month in Animal Crossing: New Horizons, so that means a new host of bugs, fish and deep-sea creatures for you to catch. And with our list, you will find every creature that will be arriving this month and which ones will be leaving once we turn into December. So whilst we all watch the official Twitter page for news on the next update, let’s get to work!

| Mole Cricket | Underground | All Day | 500 |
Whilst I am sure that there will be many tears shed over the loss of the Mole Cricket from your spawn pools, fear not! You can now catch Scorpions. They behave just like Tarantulas, so catching/farming them shouldn’t be too hard for you if you’ve done that before.
