Emperor Butterfly
The one above water member of the leaving-in-March crew is the Emperor Butterfly, who thankfully is much less stressful to nab than the Stringfish. These brilliant blue butterflies can be found flying around any patch of flowers, and aren’t easily scared away, making them a pretty simple bug to bag.
The only catch is that they only flutter about after 5PM, and stick around until 8AM the next day. Even then, they’re a rather common spawn, meaning you won’t have to try too hard to add one to your collection.
They’re also the quickest of the set to return, as they’ll be back as soon as June, so even if you miss one, it’s not a long wait to see them again.
With that, we’ve covered all the different creatures you’ll want to collect sooner rather than later in Animal Crossing: New Horizons.
From the rare and elusive Sturgeon and Stringfish to the common Bitterling and Emperor Butterfly, make sure you’ve turned one of each of these seven critters to Blathers before the end of March so you don’t miss out. You could be waiting a good long while for a second chance if you don’t.
