Red Dragonfly Seasonality & Spawn Times
Depending on what hemisphere you are playing in, these are the times of year that the Red Dragonfly can be caught.
- Northern Hemisphere: September-October

How to Catch Red Dragonfly in Animal Crossing New Horizons
On to how you actually catch one of these “buggers.” Equip your bug net and make sure you’re holding it, approach the area where you have spotted a Red Dragonfly carefully but quickly and release your net when you are close enough to catch it!
There you have it– your very own Red Dragonfly! Hopefully it didn’t escape.
As mentioned above, you need to approach this bug quickly but carefully to be able to catch it. If you are too slow, it will fly away before you can get close enough to it.
