All bugs leaving at the end of May

There are a lot of bugs to catch in Animal Crossing: New Horizons. To help stagger things out, players can only catch certain bugs at certain times of the day, and even during certain months. Unfortunately, that means that some of these bugs you can catch right now will be leaving your island at the end of May. That’s why we’ve put together this handy list of all the bugs leaving at the end of May.

As always, the specific bugs available on your island right now is going to depend on which hemisphere your island is set up in. Thankfully, we’ve broken down all the information below, so you can easily see what bugs are leaving the northern and southern hemispheres over the next couple of weeks. To make this guide easier to follow, we’ve broken down each section below based on the hemisphere that the bugs will be leaving.

It's not okay to hit villagers in the head with nets while trying to catch bugs before they leave at the end of may.
