Bugs won't be available in the options when designing vacation homes. They'll come from your inventory instead!

Even if you released a bug in another villager's vacation home, you'll need to recapture the same type of bug again if you want to add the same type of bug to a different villager's vacation home!

Dangerous Bugs Disappear

You can release dangerous bugs like the wasp outside of the vacation homes and they won't be able to hurt you. Though keep in mind that the wasp will chase the player and then disappear after being released into the yard.

It won't let me select the bugs in my inventory. I got them out the cupboard on the second floor of Paradise Planning, does it have to be ones you have just caught? (I have talked to Nat and done his talk thing at the school.)
