Hi, again for the tenth time. I found some random stuff in bugs, fish and deep-sea creatures so I guess I'll share them.

Bugs
Scaring them - I noticed that some bugs will signify that they will leave. Beetles will stop wiggling to show that they are going to move. Lantern flies spread their wings out. Cicadas stop screeching. Mantises and orchid mantises stand up, looking intimidated. Walking Sticks will fade away as the closer you get. Even some run away from you. Butterflies and centipedes will hurry and run / flutter away. :[ Aw, I just wanna catch you.

Tarantulas and Scorpion Battle - I have a news report. A scorpion was donated earlier this year at 8/21. He found a rival, the tarantula Mayor Ajishi donated at 7/2. We will be reporting more. Okay, I'm done. The tarantula and scorpion will battle which looks funny. Imagine if both were at the wild and you were just awkwardly watching.
Note that a Horned Hercules and a Golden Stag will fight as well on a stump. They will pick each other up and flip them over. I'm on team Tarantula and Hercules.

Diving Beetle and Mosquito are the most annoying? - Ask someone what is the most annoying bug? Most people will say a really rare bug or a really common bug. I will disagree. Okay, so diving beetles. You see them in the water and you try to catch it. However, they don't respond as they are underwater. You have to wait until they're at the surface. Okay, also the hit box is a bit weird. Don't even get me started on them in the middle of the river. Mosquitoes, okay...they just bite you, but not annoying. They can bite you while fishing. I lost a ton of arapaimas because of that.

Coelacanth and Rain? - Coelacanths are rare fish that only appear when it is raining or snowing from 4pm to 9am. So, okay...for a while, I was like what? Why rain? I have two theories. One is that it adds more to the idea that coelacanths are rare. Two is that the coelacanth, where it lives, has a dry and wet season. The dry represents daytime, when the sun is bright. Wet represents the cold and dark clouds of night.

Sea Bass are not as bad as you think. - So, the same fish that are the same size of a sea bass in the ocean are moray eels, giant trevally and rays. Most of which you probably won't hunt for money. Sure, you see most comments like, "I can't find [fish], I keep getting sea bass." Guide for you so you can skip them, especially at winter. Those rare fish are longer and bigger, but thinner. Sea bass are a bit fatter and more short.

Guppy looks like a sideways cyclops with a dress - That sounds like a clickbait title. You know those Youtubers, "OMG GOT ALMOST KILLED BY AN ANT!!!!" Okay, anyway... I always joked with my friends about this. When you rotate the guppy, the top half looks like an eye of a cyclops (kinda) and the fins look like the sleeves of the dress. Finally, the bottom half looks like a luxurious dress. The two orange-peach lines at the bottom looks like a dress design. Hehe, just a funny look. >w<

16th of September - On the 16th of September, some fish and deep-sea creatures appear or disappear. Spiny lobsters, sweet shrimps and mitten crabs appear on the 16th of September. Eel, crawfish, piranhas and sweetfish disappear at the 15th. I've never really understood that until I researched it. So, at mid-September, the temperature quickly grows cooler. *shiver* Though it may be hot at time or humid from typhoons occur, it is chilly. All 3 of those fish and deep-sea creatures appear at night. :] Most, but the sweet shrimp, disappear at November so it might be too chilly.
*ALL OF THIS WAS MY HYPOTHESIS*

They hate the sun? - I've noticed that most of the deep-sea creatures hate the daytime. Almost all of the creatures are either nocturnal or all day. Usually, the stationary ones like sea weed are all day. :/

Crabs - Okay, this might be a far-fetched one. So, you noticed that crabs, except the horseshoe crab, appear at winter. I wondered about this and researched. Crabs go further deeper at winter and stay there. :/ Okay. So yep. They're just there until you come and they quickly run away.

The tarantula and scorpion will battle!? Wow! Just wow! I didn?t know that, and I wanna catch them for my museum. But wait I already have a tarantula. I gotta catch the scorpion. I hope I?m still in time.
I love your comments, you?re funny! ^_^

About scaring the bugs part, there’s one more thing I’d like to add. For the walking stick, they’ll gradually fade away if you walk too close to them. If you stop walking, they’ll stop fading and return to their opaque appearance. Running into them will immediately make them fade away obviously. Mosquitos are the most annoying bug for me. Years back, I used to leave my 3ds on overnight. The summer periods weren’t so pleasant because their buzzing noises kept obstructing the hourly music which was annoying.
 
These lists are great! Keep on making them! I found out about the tarantula and scorpion fighting when I first donated them to my museum a long time ago. When I first showed my mom that, she and I thought it was funny watching the two of them fight, but mostly because they would jump backwards every now and then. It was pretty cool! :D

Also, I agree. I've lost so many rare fish to mosquitoes and so I always let them bite me first before I go to catch the fish I'm after. I feel bad for my character though. :/
 
I found that in City Folk, I was bored. I just walked and was like..."HO MY GOSH, THEY FIGHT!!!??? NANI!?"

Oof! So, here's a sad story. I was looking for a saddled bichir for my cage and tank difference lists. *cough cough* Right as I was about to catch it, the fishing rod got bit, a mosquito bit me. :[ And I was 80% sure that was a saddled bichir.

I think they fight in every Animal Crossing game, not just City Folk and New Leaf. Not entirely sure about the Gamecube one, but I do know they fight in Wild World too because I think I remember now my old best friend had her Wild World game and she had the scorpion and tarantula in her museum and they were fighting. It's kinda crazy.
 
I found this little tidbit of information on the internet:

"Tarantulas and most types of scorpions should be housed alone, as they are cannibalistic and may kill each other if kept together. Two exception are the Emperor Scorpion and the Pinktoe Tarantula, which are communal and can be housed in groups, as long as they are all close to the same size."

So Animal Crossing is doing of good job of keeping things realistic by having them fight in the museum.

BTW, I haven't commented yet, but I've been reading your lists. They're very informative and I love the funny comments you toss in. Thanks for pulling all this information together!
