The Bug-Off competition was held today and I went over to the dock basket to see which bugs I had stored there. I stuffed a bunch of them in my pockets and returned to Nat. I started out by giving him a horned dynastid.
It scored 68 points, which was enough to take over the top spot. He rewarded me by giving me a pendulum clock.
Another horned dynastid I gave him didn’t top the first one, so I gave him an emperor butterfly next. As I was giving him bugs, Drago came over to snoop investigate. I think he was getting hungry seeing all these tasty bugs.
The emperor butterfly scored 97 points, which became the new record. Nat gave me a piece of bug furniture this time, a beetle chair. I gave him about five more emperor butterflies, but none of them beat 97 points–that was quite unlucky. If I had given them in a different order, I could have scored several pieces of bug furniture for those same bugs.
I went back to my dock basket and reloaded my pockets with some other, more rare bugs. A horned atlas earned me 107 points, and Nat gave me a spiderweb clock. I gave Nat several other rare bugs, but none of them beat that horned atlas.
I then went inside Nat’s tent for the winners ceremony. Kidd got third place and Agent S finished 2nd with a 39-point fruit beetle. If a fruit beetle got 2nd place, my villagers must not have tried very hard!
And of course, my 107-point horned atlas won me the gold trophy.
I took my prizes up to a museum exhibit and put them on display for now. Here’s a look at the beetle chair, spiderweb clock, and pendulum clock. (The pendulum clock isn’t part of the bug set, of course).
And then later on, I went up to Club LOL to check out K.K.’s weekly performance. Tonight, he sang K.K. Steppe, which is a song I’ve liked since the GameCube game.
