Each month in Animal Crossing: New Horizons brings the arrival of new animals, fish, and critters. In May, players are now able to find the scorpion hanging around their island — if they know where to look.

The scorpion is a seasonal bug and can be found on your island from May to October between the hours of 7pm and 4am. The scorpion is also considered a rare bug, meaning the chance of simply running into one in the wild is slim. Given that the tarantula is on hiatus until the fall, the scorpion is the new menace of your island retreat, but can be sold for 8,000 bells if caught.

Like with any critter hunt, it’s important to ensure you have the proper tools. In order to catch a scorpion, you will need a net. If you have previously captured a tarantula, you have the skills you need to catch a scorpion. The process is remarkably similar. In fact, it is the exact same. If you are unfamiliar, the first step is to log in to the game during a time when the scorpion will be found wandering (that is, between 7pm and 4am). There are two options here on where to hunt — either redeem Nook Miles Tickets and hope your mystery island is a scorpion island, or, hunt on your own island.

When hunting on your own island, once you locate the scorpion you will want to approach carefully with the net tool selected while holding down the A button. This will allow you to slowly creep up with your net at the ready. When the scorpion notices you, it will raise its claws; if you proceed at this point it will attack you. If you pause, while still holding A, the scorpion will lower its claws, allowing you to sneak up. A few steps further and the scorpion will raise its claws again. Repeat this tactic until the critter is close enough to swipe with your net, and you’re the proud new owner of a scorpion.

If you’re hoping for a scorpion mystery island, you will recognize it by its circular shape, lack of ponds, and — surprise, surprise — abundance of scorpions. Here it is easy to be overwhelmed by the aggressive creatures, so feel free to dig a circle of holes and catch them safely from the other side.
