The elephant beetle, known as the horned elephant (ゾウカブト, Zoukabuto) in Animal Crossing: New Leaf, is a rare insect in the Animal Crossing series. It is a large, dark-yellow beetle found on palm trees during the Summer at night, between the months of July and August, and the times 7 pm to 8 am. It is worth 8,000 Bells.
Donating to the Museum
As with all insects in the Animal Crossing series series, the elephant beetle can be donated to the Museum followed by a small talk by Blathers, the curator.
In Wild World
"I wonder what elephant beetles were called before there were elephants? No, wait, I don't wonder! I don't even care! Hoo hoo! Well, moving on..."
In City Folk
"True to its namesake, the elephant beetle is among the heaviest of all the dynastid beetles. As you might imagine, with parents that big, the babies are also accordingly huge. About the size of your fist! Such foulness! Just think of those monstrous larvae! The horror of it all!"
The elephant beetle can be found on the middle tier of the insect section, located on a palm tree next to the tarantula and scorpion, in the same section housing the rafflesia.
In New Leaf
After donation, an information board in the insect exhibit will display a description of the horned elephant.
"Horned elephants are some of the heaviest dynastid beetles in the world. The thin yellow hair that covers their bodies makes them rather attractive to mates and collectors. Their horns resemble an elephant raising its trunk, which is how they got their name. They're already big in their larval stage, but by their pupal stage, they are the size of a person's hand."
Encyclopedia Information
When the player has caught the elephant beetle, they can find information about the insect in the bug menu. Below is the information regarding the elephant beetle:
