Full monthly guide to fish, bugs, sea creatures in Animal Crossing: New Horizons

No matter what month it may be in Animal Crossing: New Horizons, there are always new creatures to find. Well, maybe except for one of the months, but even then there are leaving creatures to hunt down and complete your collection.

I love collecting, I love fishing, I love bug hunting, so Animal Crossing: New Horizons is perfect for me. Only, I don't like waiting. So that sucks.

If you need help with sharing a design or scanning an Animal Crossing QR code, we have you covered!

But regardless of whether you're a time traveller or patient as a saint, you will want new creatures, and no matter what time of year it is for you right now, we have the answers to what you need.

Below you will find monthly guides to every single fish, bug, and sea creature you can find each month. In each guide we specify which creatures appear newly in each month, and which creatures disappear from that hemisphere when the month is over. Make sure to check each when it becomes to the first of the month!

If you need even more info on how to find all of those pesky critters, you can take a look at our full lists of bugs, fish, and sea creatures - we include what months you can find the creatures in, where you can find them, and what time of day they will appear. You can see all of those right here.

And here are all of our monthly creature guides - make sure to come back on the first of each month to grab them all! Or, y'know, time travel, that's up to you really.

And once you've gone through all of those, make sure to take a look at our Ultimate Guide to Animal Crossing: New Horizons so you can get absolutely everything in the game. It's important, naturally.
