How to Catch Cicadas Easily

How to Get Cicadas to Spawn

Cicadas make a lot of noise when spawned, so be sure to turn up the volume of your Switch and ready your net! They can be found on tree trunks, so ready your nets once you hear them!

If all else fails, or if you don't want to run around near your trees, you can head to a Mysterious Island and use your net to catch some cicadas.

Crickets can be hard to spot, so make sure to listen closely! Turn up the volume of your Switch and you can hear them chirping away.
