Real Life

The spider is a bug that has been collectible in all of the Animal Crossing games. It has the possibility of being in all trees except for the ones that bear fruit.

How to Catch

This bug will be hanging from a thread in fruitless trees, including cedars. The hard part of catching this bug is actually finding it in a tree. If you have a lot of trees, this can be a daunting task. Once you find it, the rest is easy because the spider will not move from the tree even if you walk right in front of it. Just equip your net and swing it, catching the spider.

"Horrors! My apologies, but I get rather jumpy around fast, multi-legged critters like this one, eh wot? Even worse is the fact that spiders have eight eyes! Even when it looks away, it can see our every move! I've heard some people worship the spider... And I've also heard that you will not find me in those places."

Trivia

• The spider is about 25 millimeters long.

Real Life

These spiders are nocturnal and aggressive towards each other and humans. They hunt by waiting in the shadows at night and waiting for an insect to land on their web.
