Trivia[edit]

• It is possible to complete theNew Horizons bugCritterpedia in the southern hemisphere in only four months total from the game's launch on March 20, 2020 via online play. This is possible since most bugs are available from March to June, including bugs that cannot be obtained online, such as the Walking Leaf, the Mosquito, and the Dung Beetle. For any other bugs that cannot be caught on their island, players could then travel to a Northern Hemisphere island to obtain otherwise out-of-season bugs such as the Peacock Butterfly and the Firefly. A player in the southern hemisphere could therefore complete the bug Critterpedia as early as July 1, while a player in the northern hemisphere cannot complete the bug Critterpedia until December 11 since one bug, the Dung Beetle, is impossible to obtain when playing online as their spawn location, snowballs, will not appear in online sessions.
