Animal Crossing: New Horizons is one of the best games Nintendo has ever developed. It sold more than 5 million copies on the first month itself, making it the best selling console game. Moreover, it is the fifth in the series of Animal Horizons. Just like the previous games, this is exclusive to Nintendo Switch. The game is released on 20th March 2020, and from then there is no looking back. The game is based on life simulation, just like the previous editions. Now the game is featuring many events and one of them in the Mayday event that features a lot of bugs (insect) and fishes.
With the Cherry Blossom season behind us, we move on to May and amidst the spring season for the Northern Hemisphere Animal Crossing: New Horizon has brought many bugs and fishes that will start populating your island. Most of the users out there were worried about these bugs and fishes. So we decided to bring up a guide that will help them throughout the game with the new population making way. If you are one of those users, look no further as you have landed on the right page. So without further ado, let’s gets started.
Animal Crossing: New Horizons May Bug and Fish List
May brings many new creatures to the Northern Hemisphere islands. These include Valuable banded Dragonfly and Mahi-Mahi. We have ensured that no creature is left out and so we are going start with the fishes and bugs so that you can make sure you collect all before the event ends. We will discuss the Northern Hemisphere here since most of the players play in this part of the globe.
