If you are not a time-travelling monster then you know that catching fishes and bugs require diligence and information. You need to know which catch is worthwhile and also information about when it is available. Catching fish and bugs is the only attribute in Animal Crossing New Horizons that is not up to randomness. So now we have the new list here on the bugs and fishes in the month of May.
I think you should particularly be interested in Mahi Mahi, which is a rare fish but the reward with 6000 gold is substantial. Scorpion is also a fine addition but the highlight is Tarantula being added for the Sothern Hemisphere guys.
