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.

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. 😛

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.

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

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.

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! 🙂

On Thursday morning, I played the game and recorded my full session. If you’d like to see it (30+ minutes of gameplay), here is the video.

Today, Ruby said it was time for her to have a fashion makeover. She asked if her style was cute or sassy, and I said it was sassy. That was apparently the wrong answer, because she was offended. (So why ask me if she already knew?)

When I visited Tom, I was very disappointed to see he was all packed up and ready to move out of town. 🙁

This actually has some similarities to what happened a couple days ago in Wild World:

• Wednesday: My 2nd favorite ACWW villager (Peanut) moved out without warning, after 3 years in town.
• Today: My 2nd favorite ACCF villager (Tom) moved out without warning, after 4 years in town.

It’s been a disappointing week for villager movement. But goodbye, Tom! Good luck in your new town! I hope Jerry doesn’t track you down wherever you end up. 😛

(Big Top is probably my favorite villager here, and Bones is my favorite in ACWW.)

Speaking of Big Top, he had an easy request for me today. He asked me to deliver a gift to Antonio, when Antonio was standing right there.

The gift was a No. 4 shirt, and Antonio put it on right away. When I turned back around, Big Top rewarded me with a manor wall. Don’t you wish all favors were this easy?

As for good bugs, I caught two agrias butterflies (worth 3k each) this afternoon, as well as a Raja Brooke (2,500 bells).

Later on, I went to see K.K. Slider’s show. I asked for a random song, and he performed K.K. Reggae for me.

Note: Grizzly bought my ladybug (the one on Thursday from the video) for 304 bells. Not exactly a huge payoff, but at least someone found a use for it.

Today, Curly asked me if I have an ant.

He was asking about an ant that I caught off of a piece of candy. He wanted me to trade it for a kitchen wall, and I gladly agreed to the offer.

Now that June is here, there are some notable new bugs and fish available to be caught. That includes sharks and fireflies, and I spent waaaaaaay too long trying to get a screenshot that included one of each. I caught a few sharks, but they weren’t near the part of the river where I would also see fireflies. So here are screenshots of a shark and some fireflies, separately. 😛

I also caught my first emperor butterfly, tarantula, goliath beetle, rainbow stag, and ocean sunfish of the year. 👍

I also got scared by my first oak silk moth. 😆 But we’re just one month away from the peak bug-hunting season (July and August). I plan on having another fun summer of hunting bugs (and sharks) this year. 🙂

At the Roost, I asked K.K. Slider for a random song. He performed K.K. Jazz for me, which is definitely not one of my favorites.

Here are a few other quick notes about today’s session:

• I found a lovely lamp in the recycle bin. It looked like Bushido! 😉
• I shot down a balloon present that contained a robo-sofa.
• Mint bought a sea bass from me for a whopping 211 bells. 😆

Yesterday, I posted my latest City Folk Moments video. It features highlights from February through May, along with Tom Nook’s wanted poster from his criminal days. 😉 Please check it out if you haven’t seen it yet.
