Four years after Nintendo released Animal Crossing: New Horizons, fans have discovered a feature related to catching bugs. It neatly explains a mechanic in Animal Crossing: New Horizons that players never even thought to question.
In the unofficial genre of "cozy games," Animal Crossing: New Horizons is one of the titans. The main goal, technically, can be boiled down to either paying the mortgage to the player's house or achieving a three-star rating for their island. For so many fans around the globe, however, accomplishing 100% completion of the game, and creating a unique Animal Crossing: New Horizons island is where the game shines. Completing the game, is easier said than done, however, as the game has a lot of side quests to be done, including collecting all Slider songs or catching all 80 bugs.
In a recent Reddit post, while reading the official companion guide, a fan of the game by the username chubbii_chii explained that they had stumbled upon a feature related to catching bugs in Animal Crossing: New Horizons. To be more precise, the feature pertains to each bug species' spawn requirements, stating that "some bugs will only appear once a certain number of other bugs are caught." This means that not even the famous golden net crafted in Animal Crossing: New Horizons would be of help, even if players had it before actually catching all the bugs to get its recipe.

To some players, however, the discovery of such a bug-catching feature in the game is not the only noteworthy news. They also focused on the existence of the official companion guide itself. Most immediately expressed their interest in the guide, and one fan even expressed the feeling of nostalgia reading the guide gives them to this day, comparing it to reading the encyclopedia as a child, as it allows them to discover even the most hidden facts in Animal Crossing: New Horizons.
The definition of cozy games is not one that is perfectly clear-cut in the current gaming industry. Due to a multitude of factors, Animal Crossing: New Horizons is one of the best cozy games in the current market. This recent discovery adds to that even further by alleviating a previously frustrating mechanic. The game is now even less stressful than before, as players can now reference exactly when they can expect each bug to spawn.
