The spider (クモ, Kumo) can be found dangling from fruit-bearing trees once it has been shaken by the player. They are common and easy to catch, since they do not try to escape from the player if they are approached.

Tarantulas are another kind of catchable spider in Animal Crossing games, but in-game, they are not related to spiders.

Donating to the Museum

As with all bugs in the Animal Crossing series series, the spider can be donated to the Museum. Every donation is followed by a small talk from Blathers, the curator;

In Animal Crossing

"Hanging a toy spider from a string to frighten someone is a jolly good childhood ruse known throughout the world. Now, I may be mistaken, but I believe this shows the general loathing civilized folk have for spiders. They deserve it! Eight legs, bug diet, and those eyes! They just have too many! Blech! Sinister fiends!"

In Wild World

"I can think of nothing more repugnant than becoming entangled in a spider's web! After thrashing about, you think you got it all off, but no, indeed! A little tickle on your neck and you thrash anew! Blech! Such foulness... Hoo... But I digress..."

The spider is displayed in the second room of the insect exhibit, on the second tree from the bottom at the far end. It is seen descending from its hiding place in the leaves of the tree on a spider silk, waiting a while, and then scrabbling back up again.

"Horrors! My apologies, but I get rather jumpy around fast, multi-legged critters like this one, eh wot? Even worse is the fact that spiders have eight eyes! Even when it looks away, it can see our every move! I've heard some people worship the spider... And I've also heard that you will not find me in those places."

After donating, the spider can be found on a tree in the central terrace of the insect exhibit. It will come down out of the tree on a thread when approached.
