April is about to end which means some critters will leave the island soon, and a new species will land in May.
Veteran AC players know very well that every fish and bugs don’t stay on the island for the whole year. They have their own seasons to appear in which then only come out during a certain time period of a day in certain habitats.
So, make sure that you have caught all the fish leaving this month. If you miss some of them, you might have to wait for a whole year.
You can check the list of fish leaving the island below:
