Bug off advice

[MelloDimensions]

I need just some brief advice for last bug off. Between this one, and the last one I caught both a giant stag, and a petaltail dragonfly. I would like bug furniture, more at least since this is the last bug off, and I just wanted to know which bug would be worth more that way I can provide the lesser for a chance at two pieces. Thanks for your help!

It'll depend on the rng of which has more shine, usually.
You can try both and then quit without saving if you do them in the wrong order.

Here is a list that explains which bugs are more rare and generally worth more points, but it really will be rng of the shine points.

Nice neither made the cut, I love it.

The rng is a real pain for collecting Bug-Off furniture. I found out that it changes each time you give him the same bug, too. Once I tried submitting all my bugs to see their score, then I quit without saving and submitted them in the proper order from lowest to highest to try to get more rewards. But he graded their shine differently the second time I gave them to him, so the points were all off from what I had recorded.

If you've got a high quality bug that's a good size, I would suggest just resetting until he gives you a good score for it.

What I do is catch rare beetles from Tortimer island and save them all up in the island's storage. That way I can catch a moderately rare bug in my own town and then go to the basket by the beach and pull out and even rarer bug to turn in.

Its really annoying when lust comes. Fishing Tourney is considered easier as it tells you what size it is, which many people use that to their advantage. Lust is (I think it is) random. :/

Yep, it sucks ! I've had bugs from the "B" category have such high shine that not even golden stags could beat it.... I remember wasting multiple horned Hercules and golden stags and every single one failed against that B one !! Was too lazy to reset and remember the correct order for the bugs, so I just accepted I lost all that potential money.

Tarantulas and scorpions I've turned in have scored slightly lower than the golden stags and horned hercules from the island.

Yeah I turned in a tarantula once, and only received like 45 points. I was livid

This may be a bit cheaty, but the most efficient way is to visit other players town where the owner of the town hasn't given any bugs to this cameleon host. Preferably, earlier of the day, and you make Nat bombered with bugs you collected beforehand.
This way I get bug items comparatively easily. Personally, I prefer to give him emperor butterfly. It's easy to catch and is not bad chance to hit over 80 points.

Yeah, the shine can be really annoying. This is probably why I never went for the bug furniture, as it was too hard to obtain. I much prefer the fishing tourney over the bug off, but of course, I'm not into the bug or fish furniture anyway. Like a couple of others have said, just keep resetting until you get some good points. That's what I would most likely do.
