All the new bugs coming to Animal Crossing: New Horizons in June

Lots of critters will be appearing on trees this month (Picture: Nintendo)

With a new month, new bugs will be visiting your island in Animal Crossing: New Horizons.

For those looking to grow their museum collection and fill out Critterpedias, you'll want to act fast to try and catch them.

A lot of the bugs arriving to the game in June will be found on trees, but they seem to have a low spawn rate.

Have you been wondering where and how you can finally catch a pretty firefly? Or maybe you're really into mosquitos? Now is your chance to catch them all.

There are, of course, new fish to net up as well. From piranhas to hammerhead sharks, here's all the new piscine friends visiting your island's waters.

New bugs to catch in June

Flying critters

Emperor butterflies can now be found darting around your island. They are active from 5 pm to 8 am.

Fireflies will be illuminating your path at night. They can be found all over, noticeable by the gentle green light they emit. They are active from 7 pm to 4 am.

Mosquitos (which Blathers will no doubt hate to be given) have been drawn out by the heat. These pests are active from 5 pm to 4 am.

Critters found on trees

Drone beetles will be found on trees now and you can encounter them day or night anytime.

Goliath beetle can only be found on palm trees. They are active from 5 pm to 8 am and they will net you 8,000 bells if you want to sell them.

Rainbow stags will be seen on trees at night. They are active from 7 pm to 8 am.

Did you catch everything you needed in May?

There were some rarer fish appearing around your island's pier, where you'd be able to catch a Giant Trevally.

A handy video posted by the official Animal Crossing Twitter account shared a glimpse into where you can find them.​

Beautiful little Rainbow fish could also be found in ponds, as well as diving beetles.

It's time to bulk-buy some nets and rods, you're going to be busy for a while.
