Animal Crossing: Everything New in May 2024 (Bugs, Fish, Seasonal Items)
Players can look forward to a lively May in, with major events returning and new critters to catch. May marks the final month of spring and fall in the Northern and Southern Hemispheres, giving players the chance to finish up this season’s activities before the seasons change. New critters to collect and returning events with their own seasonal items will keep players busy.
Players can expect a similar timetable of events to last May in . May also features a monthly rotation of new fish, bugs, and deep-sea creatures. As such, it’s recommended that anyone looking to complete their museum collections make sure they catch and catalogue any missing critters from April; many won’t reappear for several months.

Most of these critters are easy to catch, but extreme caution is recommended when catching scorpions. If players miss, run away, or get too close, the scorpion will then become aggressive, charge, and attempt to sting the player. If stung, players pass out and wake up in front of their homes. As such, the best tactic is to approach a scorpion slowly and stop moving if it raises its arms to attack.
