Bug hunting and fishing woes!

[romancement]

There's always that ONE that you can't seem to get, and of course the second you stop looking you get seven hundred, am I right?

Currently I'm trying to get a walking stick and a ray, with NO LUCK. The other week, I was trying to get an arapaima which took me forever, and now I am seeing them every few hours :O

I've had this problem before.
For bugs, it was the scorpion. My mistake was searching for it in September. Crickets overruled their spawn, and they just kept trolling me. They disappeared, hid in flowers, and ran off cliffs. It took me a week of late night searching to catch one.
As for fish, it was the stupid mitten crab. That thing was so elusive. Such a pain.

I gave up on bug/fish hunting a long time ago tbh. But I know I'll never complete my museum because of the tarantula and scorpion. I haven't even tried to catch them. They really scare me.

I also remember about a year ago I managed to catch six ceolecanths in one night, and I haven't been able to find one since.

right now for me it's that white mantis thing, and the giant stag and the tarantula also escaped me and the season for them is over /:

This usually happens to me when my villagers request specific fish or bugs; and all of a sudden, that fish or bug stops spawning for like 4 hours. :/

samez. I've had new leaf for 3 years now and I've never completed my diving fish either coz I hate the jellyfish :< same with the scorpion and tarantula. I actually love tarantulas in real life but they scare me in the game :'(

It's always when you stop looking for it! I just got the stick insect. I wasn't going to fill out my bug and fish collection on Gamine, but the ENTIRE town is museum themed so it would be silly not to. Now I'm on a Q U E S T. Still need the damned walking leaf before I can move on

Yea, when you are looking for that specific fish or bug you never seem to find it however when you don't want em' they're everywhere! And I mean everywhere! Like when I was looking for a ceolocanth I had spent a week looking for it however I found 2 in a day. And when I was trying to get a golden stag I could never see one, so I suspected my island was glitched or something however one day I found 4! So yea it is just SO strange and seriously like annoying!
