Bug-Off
Times: Third Sunday of June - September, Early Morning - 6:00pm
A Bug Filled Day
Grab your Net and get ready for the Bug-Off! (Am I having Deja Vu?) That's right, just like the Fishing Tourney, but with bugs! The person that catches the biggest bug gets a trophy! You can turn in as many bugs to Tortimer as you want until 6:00pm and each time you beat your previous record in bug size, Tortimer will award you with a piece of furniture (also just like the fishing tourney, if you don't have a net the mayor will give you one for free!).
Who has the Biggest Critter?
Tortimer will tell you which neighbor is currently in the lead with which insect. Just look at the table below to find out what bug you need to catch to beat your neighbors (Sizes are estimates, actual sizes may vary slightly):
