On Thursday, Biskit sent me a letter telling me he was over his cold. He sent me a caladium to thank me for the medicine I gave him last week.

My rare catches haven’t been limited to nighttime bugs; I caught a banded dragonfly in the afternoon yesterday!

I spotted Saharah in town, and she was looking for old carpeting. I started asking around, and Mint was the first to give me one. But she was adamant that I shouldn’t tell anyone about it for some reason.

Biskit also had an old carpet to give me, and he was much nicer about it. He was very happy to be able to help out!

None of my other villagers were able to help out, though. Fortunately, I had an old flooring in storage. I took the three of them over to Saharah, and she gave me a concrete floor in return. That’s always a hard thing to accept.

I played last night to hunt some bugs, and Marina asked me for a new catchphrase. I told her to say “I’m afraid,” although I’m not yet sure how this will work out. Hopefully she’ll use it in some funny ways in the coming weeks.

Monty wanted to trade a skull shirt for my fruit beetle, and I agreed to the trade. I don’t care about fruit beetles. But his catchphrase made it sound like he was handing me his poop. 💩

Today, I gave out another new catchphrase, this time to Felicity. I told her to say “in my tea.” We’ll have to wait and tea how that one turns out too.

Later on, I attended K.K. Slider’s concert at the Roost. I asked for a random song, and he performed “K.K. Mambo” for me. It may not be one of the more popular songs, but it’s a pretty good song.

I found a doghouse in the recycle bin at town hall. Even though it looked a bit ruff, I took it so I can give it a new leash on life. 🐶

I went on another late-night bug hunt tonight, but it was a relatively short session (at least compared my other ones lately). But I still made about 170k on the night. There’s still three weeks to go in peak bug season, and I’ll have to go on a bug hunt during a fireworks festival this month. It may not be this weekend, though.

Last Sunday night, I ran into Marina. She said she was going to spend the rest of the day painting pictures.

That’s a great hobby for her, because she can use her own ink! 🐙

I went bug-hunting, and I continued hunting even after Nook’s shop closed for the night. I was planning on saving everything for the next day, until I realized…it was flea market day! So I put a few bugs on display in my house and waited for someone to come in.

Fang wouldn’t pay 15k or 13k for a scarab beetle, but he agreed to buy it for 12k. That’s double what Tom Nook pays! Nice! I normally don’t sell things on flea market days, but I now see how useful it is during bug-hunting season.

On Monday night, Antonio gave me a Corinthian post that he had for me, up his nose. I know his nose is big, but I didn’t think he could fit one of those up his nose! 😛

On Thursday night, I listened in on a conversation between Mint and Nana. Nana told Mint that she looked especially lovely today, so she asked how much she spent on cosmetic surgery to look that good. 💀

That made Mint furious, understandably. She said it was the face she got from her parents.

Poor Biskit was sick with a cold lately, so I gave him some medicine on Thursday and again tonight. Get well soon, Biskit!

Tonight, I headed over to the Roost for K.K. Slider’s Saturday night show. I asked for a random song (as I typically do), and he performed “K.K. Dixie” for me.

I later spotted a tarantula on the shore, and even in the water!

I approached him slowly, and he wasn’t moving. So I was able to catch him without much trouble.

Big Top asked me for a fossil, so I gave him a fern fossil that I dug up. He rewarded me with a library wall, and he said he felt like he had just eaten a big tub of happiness! Aww!

But despite all that happiness, Big Top was thinking about moving out of town! However, I kept talking to him until I was able to change his mind. He’s staying. 😮‍💨

Just today, I posted the latest City Folk Moments video! Check it out!

The first (of five) fireworks festivals is tomorrow night. Have fun if you’ll be playing, and enjoy the show! 🎆

On Monday night, Antonio told me he was planning on moving out of town. But I told him to stay, and he agreed…even though he didn’t exactly like me telling him what to do.

In another part of town, I saw a scorpion casually fall off a cliff, and act like nothing happened! I was able to walk over and catch it without a problem. That’s not something I see every day.

When I ran into Antonio again, he was talking about something his friend showed him, that made him jealous. Um, what?

Fortunately, he was talking about a saw stag beetle. He wanted to buy one that I had in my pockets, and I agreed to sell it to him for 1,644 bells.

Down closer to the beach, I saw a bug on a tree…but it was obscured by another tree, and I wasn’t sure what it was. Biskit was walking close to it, so I tried to catch it before Biskit scared it away. It ended up being a golden stag (my favorite)! I’m glad I caught it in time!

My Monday night bug hunt netted me 250k in an hour of playing. As for my savings total balance, I’ve decided not to give updates on it until the summer is over. I’m certainly going to meet and exceed my original goal, and I already have another goal in mind. But I’d rather have it be a surprise at the end of the summer.

On Tuesday night, Monty thought he was sharing some shocking news when he told me that Fang was raised by wolves. And normally I’d accuse him of telling me a pack of lies. But Fang is a wolf, so this isn’t exactly surprising. Nice try though, Monty. 😛

My Tuesday night bug hunt netted me another 300k in an hour and a half.

I didn’t play again until today. At the Roost tonight, I asked for a random song. K.K. performed “K.K. Dirge” for me. It’s a little early for spooky music season, so I’m not sure if this was just a grave mistake, or if K.K. is getting a monster head start on Halloween.

Marina was the latest villager to want out of town, but I told her to stick around. It took several attempts, but I was eventually able to change her mind.

I went on my third bug hunt of the week tonight. In a 70-minute session, I earned over 210,000 bells.

If you enjoy the bug hunting videos, I posted a Wild World one earlier today. Check it out if you’re interested, here.
