How to catch an Ant

Ants are tricky little insects to catch. After reading several ACWW guides online, I had thought they were found on the ground during the spring and summer months though after months of playing I'd never found one!

Anyway, the trick to catching ants is actually rather simple :)

On Sunday, buy a small number of white turnips from Joan. Leave these on the floor in your house for a week until they become spoiled (this is why we buy a small amount, otherwise they are worthless to us!).

Pick up your spoiled turnips and place them on an area of brown ground outside. Then pop into a building momentarily. When you come back to your spoiled turnips, it will be covered in ants which you can quickly swipe up with your net! If at first the ants don't appear, just go into another building and return again; they will eventually appear.

Then you can add an ant to your museum collection. I will say that it isn't worth doing this for bells though as Tom Nook only pays 300 bells for an ant which is usually more than you would pay for your turnips from Joan!
