Spawning fly and scorpion?

[Cathy]

Hi everyone,

I have two more bugs to go: fly and scorpion.

I have a tyre sitting in the middle of my town, but it isn't attracting any flies. When I chucked a rotten orange in the middle of my town, ants swarmed on it instantly. This is not the case with the fly. How did you get your flies to spawn?

I have deen a scorpion ONCE in my 200 hours of ACNL gameplay. I am guessing I won't see another one until it's warmed up.

Apologies, I tried searching other threads, but the search function didn't like my search terms

For the fly, just leave a rotten turnip lying about. It may not be available now, i dunno. Check the AC wiki for it's available times.
And the scorpion, I don't believe it's available at this time of year. Again, check AC wiki for available times.

Scorpion is available during summer time, I think beginning June, they'll start spawning.
As for the fly, if you leave out a rotten turnip or rotten fruit, it'll be flying over it shortly after.

As said, rotten turnips will definitely attract flies. I think cans and boots from the river might too.

Scorpions are July - September and are very rare to spawn. I was playing for hours everynight towards the end of September trying to find them, and the first 3 all stung me before I caught them. You might need to make sure you don't have stuff all over the floor/patterns to make them spawn. And the easiest way to get them is to do laps of your town and on each lap enter a building.

Awesome, thanks very much for all of your help

I caught a fly by dropping a can on the ground. Tires and boots might work too.

DO you have the perfect town ordinance on? Because I think that gets rid of flies, but I'm not sure about ants...

I have beautful ordinance and left a turnip to rot and it attracted a fly. It also single-handedly brought down my perfect town status, but I picked it up and am okay now.

I took the beautiful town ordinance off to get the fly and get some gold roses Tyre and can next to each other still aren't attracting any flies, so I'll try the rotten turnip once Sunday ticks over
