Whilst you probably want neither of these insects on your island, catching them is essential in order to complete your critterpedia. So, albeit being some of the more gross insects, here’s a guide on how to catch ants and flies in Animal Crossing: New Horizons.
How To Catch An Ant
In order for ants to appear on your island. you will need some spoiled turnips lying around. You will need to purchase 10 turnips from Daisy-Mae on a Sunday and then wait at least a week for them to rot. Once they have, it’s simply a matter of placing them down and walking away. If a trail of ants don’t appear next to them, try entering a building and leaving, in order to spawn them. Then, simply take out your net and capture the ants on the spoiled turnips(s).
How To Catch A Fly
To catch a fly, you’ll need to have caught some trash whilst fishing. Items considered trash include, old tyres, cans, and boots. If you leave one of these lying around on your island, it may attract a fly. Leaving multiple ‘trash’ items in the same area increases the likelihood of you attracting flies. If you spot one, swat one (with a net)!
Once you’ve caught these pests, you can get rid of the items that attract them and have a nice clean island once again. Blathers will thank you. Not for the insect donations, obviously, but for lessening the insects that spawn on your island. 🙂

Alongside Daisy-Mae, C.J. and Flick are visiting NPC’s that are new to the franchise. However, did you know that they are partners, and that there are hints that they are the offspring of Chip and Nat? Here’s everything we know about C.J. & Flick In Animal Crossing: New Horizons
C.J.
C.J. is a blue-eyed freckled beaver who hosts the fishing tourneys, replacing Chip. He will also randomly visit your island in search for up-and-coming fishing talent for his social media followers.
He will buy fish from players during fishing tourneys and his random visits for 150% of their usual selling price. Although players will need to complete his ‘Seasports challenge’ before he will offer to buy their fish during his random visits. These challenges entail catching three fish within the same size range in a row.
If players catch three of the same fish, C.J. can get his ‘partner’ (Flick) to create a model of it for you free of charge. You will receive the model in the mail the next day.
Flick
Flick is a slightly intense red chameleon who is a major bug enthusiast.
He hosts the Bug Off events, replacing the green chameleon, Nat. Like C. J., Flick will also visit your island randomly from time to time to collect bug specimens. He will pay 150% of the usual selling price of bugs during both random visits and the Bug Off events.
As an artist, Flick will take commissions from players if they bring him three of the same bugs. He will then mail a model of that particular bug to the player, which will be received the next day. Flick will only take one commission at a time.
Fun Facts
It’s heavily implied that C.J. and Flick are the offspring of Chip and Nat respectively. C.J. more so, as his name could suggest he is called ‘Chip junior’, and he also uses the phrase ‘nyuk nyuk’, like Chip would. He also highly resembles Chip and they are both beavers. In the Japanese and Localized versions of the game, their dialogue tells us that they are partners, with Flick taking commisions and creating models of bugs, and also of fish, via C.J.
The Japanese dialogue gives players a little more insight into the history of the two new NPC’s. C.J. will mention that Flick doesn’t get along with his family, especially his father. This is because whilst they both love bugs, Flick’s father likes to eat them. This, alongside C.J. mentioning that him and Flick’s families have known each other for a long time, could imply that Nat is Flick’s father.
