Animal Crossing: New Horizons – February list of new insects and fish to catch

It is February, which means that there is another batch of fresh bugs to catch Animal Crossing: New Horizons.

You don’t have to rush them as you have a whole month or more to get your hands on them, but make sure to donate new finds to Blathers to complete your museum. You can tell when you’ve captured a new creature because your character shouts “Yes!” before they mention the name of the insect or fish.

You can also check your Critterpedia to see if you donated the insect fish or not. Once you’ve done that, there will be a little owl icon next to the beast’s name. (Note that these decals will not appear if you are on someone else’s island.)

The Northern Hemisphere will only get one new beast, the Tiger Beetle. However, the Southern Hemisphere is getting a handful of new insects, fish, and even a new sea creature to dig up in the ocean.

We have a list of all new finds below, separated by hemisphere.
