Napoleon Fish
Spider Crab
Petaltail Dragonfly

The internet guides are contradicting about their moment of spawning so I need some advice.

- Can the Napoleon Fish be found on the island?
- Can the Spider Crab be found all year around? At what time window?
- Can the Petaltail Dragonfly be caught during an island tour?

Tnx.

From my personal experience:

- Yes Napoleon Fish can be caught on the island
- According to the Thonky.com guide (I've used this guide to catch all my museum stuff), Spider Crabs can only be found during March and April, 24 hours a day
- Yes the Petaltail Dragonfly can be caught during certain tours, such as: gardening, hide and seek, fossil hunter, scavenger hunt. Tours that are specifically for bugs/fish etc, you can't keep anything you catch during those ones.

Hope that helps! Good luck catching those things ^_^

The dragon fly can be caught on some of the tours. :)

And my brother has caught the Napoleon fish there. I just haven't because somehow I fail at fishing at the island. XD
 
- Yes.
- No, only in March and April in your town only.
- Yes, but normally they only show up during bug tours where you can't take the bugs home.
 
About the Petaltail Dragonfly. Does it matter at which time you're doing the tours? I know it only spawns from 5pm to 7pm, but the tours are always during daylight.
 
Does it really count if you catch them during a tour? I was under the notion that it didn't.

I think it would count if it was a tour that wasn't specifically for fish/bugs, i.e. gardening, since you can borrow tools from lloid and just catch one and it'll still be in your inventory when the tour's done. Then you can just take it home!
 
Can't find the petaltail on the tours. Has anyone successfully caught one that way?
