Bug

From Nookipedia, the Animal Crossing wiki
Revision as of 23:59, December 8, 2012 by SpideyCanThrash (talk | contribs) (Reformatted, add New Leaf Bugs, edited PG list, still unfinished)

Bugs are collectable items in the Animal Crossing series. Players can catch them with a net. They can be donated to the museum (much to the dismay of Blathers), sold to Tom Nook, or placed in the player's home like a piece of furniture. Most of them are worth a lot less than most fish at Tom Nook's store. A large amount of insects will only emerge during the summer, and there are almost none during the winter.

There are 56 bugs in Animal Crossing: Wild World and 64 in Animal Crossing: City Folk.
