Yesterday, I received Lobo’s goodbye letter in the mail.
Lately, I’ve been getting a bit annoyed by my grass wear along my bug-catching route, especially in the southwest corner of town. So I did something I haven’t done in years: I added a new path. If I can stick to it, the grass will regrow, and this area won’t look so barren.
Last night, I was playing later than usual…so late that even Nook ‘n’ Go was closed. I did a little bug hunting, but I had to be more selective. No 1k or 2k bugs, and I even had to fight the urge to catch emperor butterflies. But this is what I ended up with:
Today, I played again and I wanted to see what that haul was worth.
I didn’t sell all of them just yet, though. There was a Bug-Off today, so I headed over to town hall and gave Nat an elephant beetle.
It scored 79 points, and that took the spot away from Grizzly’s 61-point jewel beetle. He rewarded me with a siphon. Interestingly enough, I found (and caught) another elephant beetle just 30 seconds after that chat with Nat!
After that, I made my rounds and spoke with my villagers. Many of them also had the Bug-Off on their minds.
At 6:00, I returned to Nat. He confirmed that my elephant beetle won the competition! He’ll send me my reward (a bug trophy) in the mail.
My bank balance is almost at 56 million, which means I’m right on pace to meet my summer goal. There’s still more bug hunting to do, though! 🙂
