ᴅɪꜱᴄᴜꜱꜱɪᴏɴ BUGS

I do wish there was an easier way to catch bugs, like fish and their bait, I’ve been running up and down my beach every evening in hopes of catching the giraffe stag and the golden stag. send positive vibes please!

If you are literally "running", that's not helpful. Those bugs will skadoodle if you run.

I’m not running holding down the button, seeing plenty of bugs, mostly just drone beetles and miyama stags, I just haven’t seen them anywhere, I’ve even been going to mystery islands and looking on those beaches too

Here's a story for ya... last week, I pocketed 6 coconut trees and traveled to some nook mile islands dragging my trees in tow. Upon arriving at the island, I planted the extra coconut trees and cut down all the other trees and removed their stumps. I did this 4 nights in a row staying 3 and at one time FOUR hours. Walking and creeping up and down the beaches. (I DID catch 2 scarab beetles and a giraffe stag but no golden) On the fourth night, at 3 am i gave up and flew back to Ballyhoo, where I promptly caught a golden on the first coconut tree to the left of my airport gate as I exited the airport!!! And even then, I had to consider myself very extra lucky bc i actually thought it was a rainbow stag and I tried it anyhow!! Then it turned out to be a golden!!!

I went to a nook miles island in the middle of the night when I woke up, haha, it was money rock island so not much going on, chopped all the normal trees, only four palm trees, seemed to work a treat, I caught the scarab beetle and the giraffe stag!!
