All Bugs, Golden Net

Late last night, I grabbed my net for some barely-July bug hunting. After about 15-20 minutes, I caught my first golden stag! I didn’t even realize I still needed that one!

After that, I spotted Wisp over by the museum. I rounded up his spirits and returned them to him, in exchange for a toy box.

I continued my bug hunt, and about an hour into my session, I caught what I was looking for: a giraffe stag!

Naturally, I quickly donated it to the museum. That meant I only had one more bug to go! I finally decided to check a guide to see what I was missing: I just needed a scarab beetle! Since they were still out at that hour, I kept searching. And about an hour and 45 minutes into my session, I spotted one up on the cliff! I climbed up, crept closer with my net, and…I did it!

That completed the bug section of my Critterpedia! I also earned 3,000 Nook Miles for completing the “Bugs Don’t Bug Me” achievement. After handing the bug to Blathers, the bug wing of the museum was officially complete!

Today, I received a letter from the Farway Museum; you gotta love the reference to the GameCube game! (That’s the museum you mailed all your fossils away to, for identification.) They congratulated me on catching all the bugs, and they sent me the DIY recipe for the golden net! Woohoo!

I made my golden net, and that earned me 3,000 Nook Miles for making my 5th golden tool. Only one more to go!

Gullivarrr was in town, and I went diving for his communicator. He’ll be sending me a gift in the mail tomorrow.

Later on, Celeste appeared in town. She gave me a DIY recipe for the moon. Every time I think I must have all of her recipes, she gives me another one I forgot about. 😛

At Nook Shopping, bamboo grass is again available as a seasonal item now through July 7th. So be sure to check that out if you didn’t get any last year.

I’ll be back late tomorrow night with my Friday Night Forest entry. Hope to see you then!
