Bugs are collectible creatures in the Animal Crossing series that can be caught them with a net. They can be donated to the museum (much to the dismay of Blathers), sold, or placed in the player's home like a piece of furniture. A large amount of bugs will only emerge during the summer, and there are very few during the winter. The highest-selling bugs are the Horned Hercules and Golden Stag, which sell for  12,000 Bells each in Animal Crossing: New Leaf.

There are 32 types of bugs in Doubutsu no Mori, and each subsequent game features eight more types than the preceding one, meaning that in Animal Crossing: New Horizons, there are 80 different types of bugs.
