Animal Crossing: Everything New in October 2024 (Bugs, Fish, Seasonal Items)
The arrival of the spooky season makes October one of the best months to revisit your island. New bugs, fish, and deep-sea creatures can be found and caught all over, with Southern Hemisphere players enjoying a surprising abundance of new wildlife. At the end of the month, players can also celebrate Halloween, one of the biggest events in the island calendar.
Much like September in , October is one of the best months for critter collectors. The bugs, fish, and deep-sea creatures that can be found are particularly lively with the change of seasons, making this one of the best times to catch and add to a Museum Collection. Unlike September, however, it's also an excellent month for social animals, with a few events, both big and small.

Bug catchers in the Northern Hemisphere should also be aware that 10 different bug species will disappear at the end of October. This actually includes the Ladybug itself, which won't return until March, as well as bugs that prefer the warmer weather such as notoriously aggressive Scorpions.

Chat with your villagers to catch Fleas in . Some may mention they have a strange itch or want to scratch themselves. This indicates a Flea is on them: to catch it, hit the villager with a bug-catching net. Fleas may also appear as small black dots on villagers. Once caught, the villager will typically be grateful for your help in getting rid of their itching.
