How to Catch Crickets Easily

How to Get Crickets to Spawn

Tip 1 Turn up the volume of your Switch
Tip 2 Chase away other bugs and run quickly!
Tip 3 Head to a mystery island

The mole cricket only spawns underground so be sure to keep an ear out, max your volume, and get your trusty shovel ready to dig out any burrowing mole crickets!

Other crickets just hang around on the ground, so just keep an eye out during evening and you'll be sure to see some!

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

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.
