Bear Cicada

[Riagan]

Has anyone found a BEAR CICADA?
Its on the thonky encyclopedia showing it in a space and its suppose to be right beside the cicada shell but I cant find it on the list of bugs to find out where/when Id find it.
Is it a glitch? or a special bug that shows up suddenly when you have all the other ones?

Is it the giant cicada?

In-game this is actually the "giant cicada."

For some reason the developers decided to call it the "giant cicada" instead of the bear cicada which is its actual name.

Thonky probably should have explained it more clearly.

Here's what the Animal Crossing Wiki has to say about it.

The bug known as the "Giant Cicada" in New Leaf is actually the Bear Cicada (熊蝉 Kumazemi?), and should not be confused with the Giant Cicada (Quesada gigas) found in the Americas, or the exinct "giant cicadas" of the family Palaeontinidae.

So if I find another Giant Cicada I should try and see if Blathers will take it or does this mean I wont be able to finish my bug colection?

No, you only need the "giant cicada." The "bear cicada" doesn't exist in New Leaf.

I believe that Thonky occasionally posts the names in their Japanese equivalents. You may want to look up some things through a backup source. Thonky is really good for spotting fake/real art, though.
