Tarantula?

[PrincessPixiTheThird]

I think my town is too heavily paved with paths and landscaped to catch myself a tarantula. If I were to buy a tarantula from someone on here, would I be able to donate it to my museum? And would it count towards my encyclopedia?

I don't think you can buy bugs from someone. But they can donate bugs to your museum. It won't count towards your encyclopedia though.

I'm not even sure if visitors can donate to your museum

You can't buy off someone, sorry. put my game on last night at 8.30pm for half hour, caught 2 tarantulas and missed one, can't believe I saw 3 in half hour!

Oh poo... so whats my next best option? Going hunting in someone elses town? Think anyone would go for that?

They can spawn on the same spot as flowers, so that shouldn't be an issue. You can catch one in someone else's town. They can't donate to your museum or sell it to you, unless maybe it was hacked, but I don't recommend that. I'm sure someone with a cycling town or something would be willing to open their gates for awhile, set at night in the peak of the summer, for you to try to get one. Good luck!

They won't show up in a town that has visitors due to how the mechanics of a failed catch work.

My town has been nearly complete for a long while and trust me, the tarantulas and scorpions do come. They often appear on my path and sneak up on you. The only way you can buy a bug from someone else is through hacking but it still won't count towards your encyclopedia.

I always see them on my paths or at the station.

I don't think you get them when you have visitors.

Yeah like others have said, you can't donate to someone elses museum, and they wont show up when your gates are open but yesterday I saw two up near my station, an hour a part, at night. I'm not sure if that's common for them to show up there, but it's worth a shot. Good luck catching a tarantula!

Maybe someone could drop some tarantulas in my town??????????????? I've been searching for them for a week now and I only saw one around the plaza two days ago. Eventually it disappeared because I freaked out. And I removed a lot of flowers so that they could spawn.

They seem to come when you don't look for some bizarre reason, I often nip indoors too as it seems to reset the game. I caught 2 and missed one in space of half hour last night, each time I caught one I went inside and came straight out again and I'm sure it helps.
