Hunt Bugs in the Fields!

Today, I received Tom’s goodbye letter in the mail. I’ll miss the old grump…but at least I still have him in the GameCube game.

Jeff, Thanks for being here for me. I'm a better animal for knowing you. I'm leaving Forest behind, but I'll be thinking of you in my new home! -Tom

The Bug-Off was held today, and for once, I was not playing too late to participate. 😆 I kept an eye out for bugs as I made my rounds. Grizzly told me that bugs and competitors run from him. 😛

Grizzly: Bugs and tournament competitors both run from the sight of me, Giddyup!

I gave Nat a couple of common bugs to start out. He only gave me 4 points for an ant, and 47 points for a darner dragonfly. But the current record was a 52-point mantis that Roscoe caught. Nat encouraged me to keep hunting, giving a little speech that almost sounded like he was sending me into war.

Nat: Hunt bugs in the fields! Hunt bugs in the hills! Hunt bugs in the streets! You must never surrender!
General Nat?

Maybe that’s why he’s not the Bug-Off host in New Horizons; he left to join the military. 😛

Up by the museum, I spotted two agrias butterflies hanging out together! The problem is that they’re fast…very fast. I chased one of them all the way down to the beach, and then across a bridge. But I did catch it eventually!

I caught an agrias butterfly! So bright and beautiful!

I took it over to Nat, and he gave me 77 points for it. I was in the lead!

Nat: Yes, I'd say this fine insect is worth... 77 points!

I figured I’d take my chances and not hunt any more. When I returned later on, my bug was still #1, and I had won the tournament! I received my bug trophy in the mail from Nat.

Later on, I headed over to the Roost for K.K. Slider’s Saturday night show. He performed K.K. Jazz for me.

K.K.: All right, get ready to dig the riffs on this ditty: K.K. Jazz.
I’m not Jazzy Jeff!

Did you participate in the Bug-Off? If so, let me know how you did in the comments! And I’ll see you all next time! 🙂
