tarantula problem

[mattyboo1]

I still have not even seen a single tarantula or scorpion. what could the problem be?

 

[SeccomMasada]

maybe you're playing at the wrong time/season

 

[mattyboo1]

I never Time travel and I am searching at night. I have just never seen a single one. it makes no sense.

They're kind of a rare spawn, but if you have a lot of paths it's harder as they can't spawn on a path. Also, they like flowers. The more flowers I had the more frequently they seemed to spawn. I tend to find them away from houses, and near cliffs, although the scorpion I found was right by re-tail so it may just be a coincidence.

 

[TheCrystalRing]

They're extremely rare. I've only seen one of each and scared off the tarantula and got stung by the scorpion. You'll find one eventually.

Also, they're easier to find after 11pm, I seem to find them alot at like 1-2am.

 

[mattyboo1]

almost my whole ground is covered in flowers and I still haven't seen any tarantulas or scorpions at all.

I don't know if the flower thing is accurate. I'm re-landscaping and moved ALL of my flowers to the beach. I have some paths but my ground isn't covered in them. Running around the past few days I've probably seen about 8 lol. Maybe I just got lucky.

 

[mattyboo1]

yeah but after searching for more than a month and a half i should have seen at least one.

w/e.

 

[mattyboo1]

They are rare... I've only ever seen 2 scorpions and one tarantula.

yeah but some people see them all the time. could I be having a problem because I have so many flowers and items on my ground?

All the time? Tarantulas and scorpions are extremely rare. They're probably the hardest bugs to catch in the game.

Keep going in and out of buildings. That's when they spawn: when you leave a building. So search, enter a building, leave, search again, enter a building, leave, rinse and repeat until you find one. It's a very rare spawn but if you're constantly attempting to spawn one it should pop up at some point.

And remember that when you're searching for a tarantula you shouldn't walk around with your net out. Otherwise, they'll sprint towards you and attack as soon as they see you.

flowers might be a problem, my tarantulas have escaped and disappeared into flowers numerous times. i've caught ~4 tarantulas and seen only 2 scorpions, caught one. the one scorpion suicided into the river. each time, i was not walking with my net out, and it was always quite late at night. my scorpion showed up at like 2AM?

spawn sites are pretty random, i've found tarantulas in various places. as everyone previously stated, it's just rare. good luck!

 

[Swiftstream]

They are very rare spawns. Try looking again at night in the summertime.

 

[mattyboo1]

I am getting rid of some regular flowers in order to try and spawn a tarantula. hopefully I will be able to catch one.

 

[Waluigi]

Have a large space. They tend to spawn there.

Ive only ever seen 2 tarantulas, and got bit by one (still questioning how i caught the other one) and one scorpion.

 

[Rinny_]

In LGTTC, they spawned a lot more than NL does. I haven't seen a single one!

 

[JellyDitto]

Yeah, In the seven months I've been playing this game I've only seen 2 tarantulas and no scorpions.
