All new and leaving fish, bugs, and sea creatures in August in Animal Crossing: New Horizons
Make sure to catch all of these rare insects before the end of the month in ACNH!
A new month means a new list of creatures to hunt, and now that we've got bugs, fish, and sea creatures to find, it means we've got more than ever to list.
But there are new creatures in every category to find this month, no matter where you are, and if you're in the Northern Hemisphere, it is high time for you to get bug hunting, as many of them are making an exit from your game this month.
We'll point out the most important creatures as we go, and the thing you should keep in mind the most are the creatures that are leaving your region - there will be more time to get the new ones, but the leavers will soon become very rare.

So make sure to use this list to help you fill out your museum, and check back on Pocket Gamer every month for more guides like this one.
Make sure to take a look at our full lists of all bugs, fish, and sea creatures to find out the details on where to find these creatures...
