The Spider 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 don't try to escape from the player if you approach them.

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 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.

In City Folk

A spider in the museum in City Folk.

"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.

Encyclopedia Information

When the player has caught the spider, they can find information about the insect in the bug menu. Below is the information regarding the spider:
