2. Approach Bug

Before you can catch a Spider, you'll have to find one first! You can shake trees to check for any hidden critters.

However, not all trees will have the Spider in them, so you'll only need to shake a tree once to check.

Avoid Wasps

Be careful when shaking trees! Everyday, at least two trees will have Wasps in them. Use our guide to avoid a nasty sting!

Spider Additional Info

Dialogue When Caught

I caught a spider! I spied 'er first!

Dialogue When Donated to Blathers

  The spider is renowned for having eight eyes and eight legs...

 WHICH IS SIX TOO MANY, I SAY! Oh dear. I do apologize. Now where was I?

 Most spiders are carnivorous. In fact, some will eat creatures several times larger than themselves.

 To catch their prey, many of these ruthless predators spin sticky webs of surprising strength.

 Worse yet, they've also been known to ambush their victims, and some even chase down their meals!

 All this talk about the feeding habits of spiders... I'm feeling quite queasy. Hoot! The horror!
