Animal Crossing New Horizons: fish and insects of March

The month of March is ending and Animal Crossing: New Horizons is preparing to update its selection of fish and insects, let's find out together which creatures we will have to say goodbye in April 

As you well know by now, Animal Crossing: New Horizons follows the date and time of your Nintendo Switch device. The day, time, season, atmospheric and environmental conditions vary according to the time of year. At the beginning of the adventure, the game will let you choose between the Northern Hemisphere (the most played in Europe) and the Southern Hemisphere. Based on this choice, you will have access to a different "catalog" of flora and fauna. 



The creatures that can be captured, including fish and insects, however, will vary both according to the hemisphere, and according to the time of year. In this guide, we want to help you understand which creatures will be leaving the Animal Crossing: New Horizons selection with the advent of April (and stay tuned because we will also talk about the upcoming event). Tuesday, March 31, or tomorrow, will be the last day in which you can catch the fish and insects that we will list shortly. 

Blatero is right: insects are disgusting!

We will talk about both hemispheres, although, as we have already said, you will most likely have selected the northern one. We also remind you that here on Holygamerz you will find both our editorial review of Animal Crossing: New Horizons, and our tricks and tips to get the best out of your desert island, and a rather in-depth guide on how to best hit the rocks for get as many materials as possible. Let's begin.
