June Bug-Off

The June Bug-Off was held today, so I went up to the plaza and spoke with Flick to get it started. I quickly realized that having a large, fenced off desert without flowers or trees is not very conducive to a bug-hunting competition. 😛

And when you consider that I stopped to shoot down a balloon present and fish out an arapaima, it’s probably not a big surprise that I only caught five bugs in my first attempt (for a score of 7 points).

But still, that first round kicked my overall point total over 200. So Flick should be sending me a prize in the mail tomorrow.

Flick: That means... Oh! Your total points from all the Bug-Offs now adds up to at least 200!

I continued competing in several more rounds, scoring 6, 11, 15, 10, 9, 11, 7, and 11 points, respectively. In this picture, Tybalt watched me reach my highest score of the day (13 bugs = 15 points).

Tybalt watches me catch a long locust for my 13th bug.

It was time to redeem my points for some prizes, so Flick gave me a butterfly backpack, three ladybug umbrellas, a bug aloha shirt, a butterflies wall, two termite mounds, and a spider doorplate.

Flick: The epic tale of my pilgrimage to obtain these relics should be written on a scroll or something! Enjoy.

When I played later, nothing was going on. K.K. wasn’t around for his usual Saturday night show because of the Bug-Off. And Midge was just talking about a turnip book.

Midge: I'm about midway through Turnip Your Enthusiasm. It's such a great book!

But I saw on the bulletin board that I have two villager birthdays coming up in the next eight days: Agent S on July 2nd and Apollo on July 4th.

See you next time! Enjoy the rest of your weekend. 🙂
