So... I've been trying to catch a tarantula and it's not going well! I either end up getting attacked or it disappears. I'm wanting advice on how people found it easier to catch one thank you for the help

When you start hearing the scurrying sound, press and hold A and slowly walk towards it. When you're holding A it can't run away or attack and you can carefully aim and catch it.

Is there a certain time frame they are more active I know they are available from 7pm but I was just thinking are they around more often the later into the night it is? or is it just random?

Click to expand...

after 1am they are very rare, but from 9pm to 11pm is the best time i've found, as other bugs don't spawn as much.
