How to Get Dangerous Bugs to Spawn

Tarantula.png

Scorpions and tarantulas only spawn during evening, so you'll have better luck hunting during night time!

Wasps can also only appear after shaking trees, so be sure to have some trees planted in your island!

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 dangerous bugs.
