Another month’s end means another batch of critters in Animal Crossing: New Horizons is on its way off your island.
As Summer draws to a close in the Northern Hemisphere and Winter lifts from the Southern Hemisphere, the environments in New Horizons (whose hemisphere-dependent seasonal rotation matches up to that of the real-world) will be undergoing some seasonal changes, too.
From tomorrow, September 1, the following bugs will no longer be found on your island as they buzz off on their migrations or crawl up into their hibernations. There’s not much time left to catch these guys, though, and if you don’t manage to in time you’ll have to be patient until they return in a few months’ time!
