List of New Fish and Bugs in Animal Crossing: New Horizons for May 2020
As we enter the new month, Animal Crossing players will receive a fresh selection of fish and bugs featured on their islands. Here's our guide to May's New Horizons Creatures.
In the latest version of Animal Crossing, New Horizons, players settle on their own island. The social simulation title is synced in real time, which means the game changes depending on the season.
In addition to realism, new creatures are also added every month. Everything you need to know about the fish and bugs you can catch in May is here.

Despite the release on March 20, there is no doubt that dedicated players will not miss the opportunity to add more samples to their museum. Luckily, New Horizons will get new fish and bugs starting in May.
Next up is the rare mahi-mahi fish, which can be caught on the pier at any time. It brings a whopping 6000 bells! Although, if you are looking at how to get rich, farm scorpions seem like the best solution for you. They sell for over 8000 - though, beware of their sting.

It will be interesting to see how players adapt to the changes in May. Who knows, maybe scorpions will be the new tarantula that the community has used to earning millions of bells
