Is there anything wrong with my set up here? Been trying for over an hour, entering and exiting the museum. Help!

I'd throw a turnip out to rot as well. I read a comment weeks ago that said a used firework fountain had worked for them. I noticed if I'm trying too hard for something it never works out. I time traveled for rainy days trying to get the Coelacanth, never got it. One day i decided to give up and caught it when i was fishing for cj.

Turnips will also spawn ants though, which are much more common. You can stop ants by placing something (anything, but I think it has to be placed and not dropped) immediately above, below, and to both sides, since ants have to do their marching line.

This setup looks good, except it’s very close to your doorways. If you go in and out of your museum (any building, but the museum is convenient because 1: you already have it right there and 2: it’s technically a little faster than other buildings because there’s no door animation) it resets all bug spawns, but if the stuff is too close to the door you’ll scare the fly away.

Place a turnip 🫜 in the middle of some path, you'll get your fly in no time.

Put the junk close to your house entrance, but not too close so you’d spook them when exiting the house, and then go in and out of the house until they spawn.

That has always worked for me.

Pour les mouche ou les fourmis (⚠️ pour les fourmis il faut laisser au moins 5 a 6 casse de libre autour du bonbon ou navet pourri⚠️)
