Island Help

[Ghostkid]

Im currently trying to catch a gold stag and am wondering is there a way i can set up my island so they have a higher chance to spawn or easier to catch?

Remove all bushes and flowers, keep only two to three regular trees (giant stag and rainbow beetles, scare any lesser value insects). Keep three or four palm trees each on the left and right side of the island, cut down all others. Enter the building and exit if nothing spawns on the palm trees after a few minutes to refresh the island spawns.

Thank you

I did it that way until I didn't need bells anymore, then worked on making the island look awesome.

Apart from butterflies, the beetles spawned the same for me.

Basically this: the beetles spawn the same if you have flowers - I've always had 'pretty' islands attached to my towns - I keep one fruit tree to the north and to the right hand side (looking towards the hut), a path thru the middle to run up & down and flowers either side of the path.
You do have to catch the butterflies & scare off any bugs you don't want on the central fruit tree. (but you also get rainbow stags/oak silk moth, giant stag & scarab on there).

For the Golden stag & Hercules beetle I find it best to approach fairly carefully with pauses every 2 to 3 steps - (they scare more easily than the other palm tree bugs). Try 5pm onwards. 6am to 8am is a brilliant time - I do really well then!
