I can't believe this happened.

Today I was playing ACNL on a small day out with my family and I had time-travelled to about 10pm. I was going to catch some rare fish that weren't available when I was normally awake, talk to villagers that were awake and do normal things in ACNL. I had just caught an inventory full of rare fish to take to the museum and I was running to the top of my town when I heard scuttling. I stopped dead in my tracks and I saw just in the view of the camera a scorpion! I got out my golden net and crept towards it. I screamed so loud when I caught it my family was so mad but I couldn't be happier. In the entire three years I've been playing two dfferent towns of ACNL I have never even seen a scorpion or a tarantula let alone caight one and I haven't even watched any guides on how to catch them. All I did was crept as I would with a stag beetle. Then I realised I had no room in my pockets! And I was in the middle of one of my paths. I was so scared that I would lose the scorpipon since you can't drop items on paths and I had no bugs or anything to release, only fish and I wasn't near water! The one item I could drop was my fishing rod so I tried and somehow the game was nice to me! I must have been just in the right spot for the game to allow me to drop my rod on a square of path that I had accentally kicked up about ten minutes earlier! I will never be angry at accidentally kicking up patterns again. I still haven't recovered.
 
That’s incredible! I have found multiple scorpions and tarantulas but most I failed catching, but I’m glad you got one!

Thanks! Now I just have to find the tarantula! That's my goal for the last six days of August to catch a Tarantula. You have no idea how much I was sweating when I thought I would have to release it.:o:o:o
 
That's fantastic! Congratulations! It's pretty thrilling and terrifying to catch that beast, isn't it? My heart still pounds each and every time I am stalking either the scorpion or tarantula. They are so scary! And yep, I do a victory scream each time I catch one and scare the stuff out of my family as well. Good for you!

It scared the heck out of me when I heard the scuttling. I had heard it from some youtube video but couldn't remember what it was. When I saw the tiny bit of red near the train station I flipped out and immediately held A. I'm not looking forward to find the tarantula before august is done.:(
 
Congrats! I see them all the time but can't catch one. I've heard leaving the town like going to main street or in the train station will make them respawn. I once missed three tarantulas in within an hour ��

Oh my god, I would be so annoyed if I got bitten by that one or had to let it go. I would have been especialy angry about missing three tarantulas in an hour since they are the ones I need now. I think I'm gonna do a bit off tarantula hunting today. Cross your fingers for me everyone! :D
 
Living alone, I am free to make all the sounds of joy and disappointment I want. Being in a rural area, I've had no complaints from distant neighbors. Life is good in New Leaf.
 
You were so lucky! Most of the times a tarantula/scorpion spawns when I don't have my net with me.... RIP

Oh, no! I was watching an ACNL lets play and this guy who had been looking for the petaltail dragonfly the entire lets play and on the final episode one spawned and he left his net in storage and of all things took his meaphone out with him! I would have been furious if that was me.

Awhh, poor guy. 1 like = 1 prayer! Jk
 
Yeah. I suggest you check out his lets play! His youtube channel's called chuggaaconroy.

Ah, Chugga! I had a feeling that's who you were talking about! He did end up catching one in a prior video, but having that one randomly spawn on him was hilarious. xD

That was one of my favourite moments in the entire series! I love his videos!

Congrats! I remember when I saw my first tralantula, I was at a family dinner at 9:30, I saw one and ran to my house screaming (I scared my family a lot, and prob the entire restaurant) because I didn't know tarantulas existed In acnl, it didn't bite me thou, I got to my house in time. I don't like spiders lol
