After talking to Nat, you'll go to the school and learn how you can add bugs to the exterior of vacation homes!
3. Release Bugs in Vacation Homes!
Once you finish the lecture, you'll now be able to release bugs you've captured and kept in your inventory when designing vacation homes.
After releasing bugs, you'll immediately find them fluttering, crawling, or hopping about in their new home!
How to Add Bugs in Vacation Homes
While designing vacation homes, you can add bugs into the yard by accessing your inventory by pressing X, then select the bug of your choice by pressing A, and then release them by selecting the Release option.
Maximum of 12 Bugs per vacation home
You can only have a maximum of 12 bugs per yard, so choose which lil' critters will compliment the theme of the vacation home wisely!
You can check how many bugs you currently have in each vacation home by pressing X to open your inventory. Look at the top left corner where you'll also see which lil' critters are currently living there if you press Y.
Return Bugs to Your Pockets
You can return released bugs to your pocket by choosing the Return to pocket option after selecting the bug you want from the bug menu when you press Y while your inventory is open.
Bugs Aren't on the Menu
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.)
