Animal Crossing: New Horizons the fish and insects of May

April is over, May has arrived and consequently the flora and fauna of Animal Crossing: New Horizons are changing, let's find out in this guide which insects and which new fish you can catch

May has officially arrived, we are in the middle of spring, seasonal allergies and a pandemic that is struggling to leave us. A very difficult period for everyone that seems to be easing in the next few days. Anyway, we said, May has arrived and for this reason we are going to modify the flora and fauna of Animal Crossing: New Horizons. In recent days, many new flowers and bushes have arrived thanks to Florindo, the Day of Nature is pushing us to be a little more environmental and green. With the arrival of May XNUMXst, with its related event, the fish and insects that you can catch on your island, which is no longer deserted, have also gone to change. We will divide the list, as we did for last month, between the southern and northern hemisphere, although many of you surely, if you play from Europe, will be placed in the northern one. 



We are already halfway through the year!

Before starting with our guide to the fish and insects of May in Animal Crossing: New Horizons, we remind you that here on Holygamerz you can find the review of the latest Nintendo effort. You can also find a long series of guides on the title, for example how to build stairs to climb to the top, how to jump and travel in time, how to plant star trees, how to make a bunch of stars with turnips, our guide to colors of the various balloons, how to use shooting stars and much, much more. Also find the guides for the Art Gallery and for Volpolo's works and, above all, how to poop. Because we are all the same sitting on the cup, even the administrators of a five-star island. Let's begin!
