Finding and catching insects are basic mechanics in Animal Crossing Games. New Horizons takes this to the next level with insects and arachnids actively bringing you combat. If you want to catch them, you will have to step up your game. Several insects in the game are more hostile than in previous versions, bringing interesting dangers to life on these deserted islands.
Wasps, scorpions, and tarantulas will all follow you, sting or bite you. In the case of scorpions and tarantulas, their stings will cause your character to faint and you will wake up in your tent. However, in order to fill this museum, you will have to catch them.
How to find and catch New Horizons scorpions
Scorpions are boring little beasts. Twitch videos and clips of little demons exist proving how irritating they are. Miss your swing, and they will hunt you down. Like the other spooky crawlies in the game, they're an arachnophobe's worst nightmare. All those legs and tail with a poisoned stinger at the end is enough to cause nightmares. Since they are hostile, it makes the situation worse.
Scorpions spawn at night from 18 p.m. to 5 a.m. local time. They start in the spring and increase throughout the summer. You can find them between April and September.
Scorpions appear at night, although they seem rare. To catch one you will have to wait until nightfall. Or change the time of day on your Switch to spend the night if you really like collecting bugs. Once you've spawned, you'll need to sneak up on it and swing the net. Congratulations! You now have a large scorpion to give to the Blathers.
Scorpios are aggressive. If you miss, they will chase you and sting you. If you get stung you will pass out and wake up in your tent or house. Good luck and aim well.
