Now that June is finally here,Animal Crossing: New Horizonsplayers have a new bug to catch, the Rainbow Stag. Alongside theintroduction of Wedding Season, all new bugs and fish will be available to find. Each of these has specific conditions which must be met to make them appear, though.
InAnimal Crossing: New Horizons, like in real life, bug and fish availability is based on seasonality. Certain bugs will only show up during certain months, for example, and even then only at certain times. Because of this, finding all the bugs can be tricky, but players working together can get it done a lot faster.

How to Catch Rainbow Stag
The Rainbow Stag is one such new bug that players can find in the game, and tracking it down is well worth the time. Not only for the purpose of catching every bug in the game, but also because these critterssell for quite a bitas well.
Rainbow Stag Times, Location, and Price
Rainbow Stags only appear during the months of June, July, August, and September, making today the first day they can be found without the use of time travel inAnimal Crossing. Long time fans mayrecognize these bugs fromNew Leaf, in which they also only appeared between June and September. They can be recognized by the slight, rainbow sheen of their carapaces, although it isn’t very easy to see in the dark. With that in mind, the dark is exactly when players will have to search for the Rainbow Stag, as they only appear between the hours of 7 PM and 8 AM the next day.
In order to find Rainbow Stags, players will either need to stay up late or get up pretty early, as the 7 PM to 8 AM timeframe isn’t the most convenient one. Fortunately, these guys will be around until the end of September, so there is no rush to catch them. They do sell for an impressive 6000 bells, however, making them one of themost lucrative bugs inNew Horizons. Generally speaking, they spawn on trees, and they must be approached slowly and quietly or they will fly away.
Hopefully this helps players find this new bug and continuefilling out their museumsand logs, and maybe make a quick buck while doing so. There are bound to be other bugs making their first appearance in June, so players should keep an eye out and have bug nets at the ready.
