Samson Leaves, Bugs Arrive

On Wednesday, I saw Tabby and I said hello to her. With my net. So she called me a Neanderthal.

Tabby: OUCHERS! You are SUCH a Neanderthal! Why don't you go, like, make some stone tools or whatever?

At Able Sisters, I bought a dragon suit and put it on. When I visited Samson’s house nearby, I saw that he had all his belongings packed up in boxes! He’s moving away.

Samson: I decided to ake my awesomeness on tour, and I was bummed I wouldn't be able to say bye to people.

Clyde thanked me for the medicine I gave him recently. He then gave me a kiddie couch for my trouble.

Over by the town fountain, Midge gave me a blue tie-dye shirt. I may have worn it, if I hadn’t just bought some new clothes. 😛 Maybe another time, bird brain.

Today, I got Samson’s goodbye letter in the mail.

Yo, Jeff, It's time for me to bail on Forest and take these biceps on tour! They're just too big for one town. Don't worry, you'll see 'em again! Peace! -Samson

I also received a punny letter from Mom. Interestingly, she used the same stationery as Samson.

Dear Jeff, Your dad went fishing the other day, and the freezer is packed to the gills with fish! HA HA HA! See what I did there? -Mom

According to Clyde, I missed out on a big fight. Midge and Tabby were throwing coffee in each other’s faces, and slapping each other. Wow! I really wish I could have seen that! (Go Midge, Go Midge!)

When I visited Static, he asked me to toss a good shark his way! Wow. Would you like a golden throne while I’m at it? Keep dreaming, squirrel.

Static: Do you mind tossing a good shark my way, buzz off?

I spoke with Opal, and she told me she always rolls around in flower petals on Sundays. She’s an odd one.

Opal: I always roll around in flower petals on Sunday.

Later on, I went bug hunting. July is here now, so all of the valuable summer bugs are out now. I caught an elephant beetle, a tarantula, a scorpion, a couple of goliath beetles, a couple of cyclommatus beetles, and more. I earned about 70,000 bells from the bugs I caught.

I caught a cyclommatus! Aw, it's so pretty!

Static, not content to just ask me for a shark, also wanted the goliath beetle in my pockets! He only offered me a gelato shirt for it! Go away, greedy squirrel.

Static: J-boo! Where did you get that excellent goliath beetle in your pocket? And can I have it?

The bug season is just beginning, so I’ll be sure to have more bug-catching nights over the next two months. If you’ll be doing the same, good luck on your bug hunts! And I’ll see you all next time. 🙂

  1. Whoa, nice job on the bug hunting! I caught my first ever scorpion in Wild World last night and was feeling pretty proud until I read about your haul! Haha

    Hope your week is starting well!

    1. Thanks! And congrats on the scorpion! My hunt started out slow…the first 15 minutes, I didn’t catch much of anything. But then all the good bugs started showing up.

      My week has been alright, thanks. I hope yours is going well!

  2. Congrats on your catch! I love summer bugs season with all these little living beings around you – and some of them giving you thousands of bells 😉
    A week ago I caught a Goliath beetle for the first time and I was really proud. I’ve never caught any other rare beetles, tarantulas or scorpions though. Good luck with everything!

    1. Thank you! Yeah, I love catching all the summer bugs…especially in City Folk. Congrats on the goliath beetle! Hopefully you’ll catch some more rare bugs soon too. And thanks again for the nice comment! 🙂
