The common bluebottle[nb 1] is a bug in the Animal Crossing series. It first appeared in Animal Crossing: New Horizons and was later added to Animal Crossing: Pocket Camp. Unlike other butterflies, it can sometimes be seen resting on the ground, though it will resume flying after a short time or if the player is nearby.

In the games that the common bluebottle appears in, it is a common bug that the player can encounter, and can be found flying. In Animal Crossing: New Horizons, it can be caught from mid spring to the end of summer.

Donating to the museum[edit]

In New Horizons[edit]

"The common bluebottle is a type of swallowtail butterfly with a bright blue line running down its wings. They fly quite nimbly, it seems, and are thus quite difficult to catch. But seeing how they've been known to slurp nutrients from MUD puddles... I simply CAN'T imagine wanting to catch one myself. What awful breath!"

Once donated, the common bluebottle can be found flying in the butterfly room in the bug exhibit of the museum.
