The big off!! Discussion :D

I won with a horned hercules (140 points). I was pretty confident about my entry (and wasn't interested in the furniture) so I didn't bother handing it over untl 5:55pm. ^^;

Caught it last night after Gizmodo mentioned the bug-off. x)
 
I am winning with a Horned Atlas worth 119 points. I got 4 new pieces of the Bug Set today.
My alt character is currently in third with a 42 point Darner Dragonfly. I hope she can sustain that place because I need the Bronze Trophy.
 
I'm not super interested in the furniture at the moment, so I just gave him a cyclommatus stag from the get go, giving me 96 points and a firefly lamp.
 
Last time I won with just a oak silk moth, so i stocked one away for this competition... but only for use at the end. Right now, i'm trying to get nothing but 80+ value bugs that are around to get more of the bug set. Next time, i might stock up on a bunch of oak silk moths though...

Right now I got a bee worth exactly 80 winning.
 
I handed in a birdwing butterfly (?) and scored 93 points! Also got a cicada player and honeycomb drawer thing. I got first place ^ ^
 
I wish I would have read these before turning in my Horned Hercules, hah. I turned in my Island beetles according to bell value, and the VERY first Hercules I turned in took the cake at 127 points. Nothing else even broke 100 - not even the Golden Stag :(
 
140 points from a beetle I got last night from the island. Accidentally gave it first instead of cheaper beetles so no furniture :(
 
The score is currently at 115 and I have gotten 3 furniture items so far. I just caught a birdwing butterfly though so I will hopefully get a good score from that.
 
A few days ago now, I watched a video on YouTube about catching Scorpion's and this YouTuber had five attempts at catching the scorpion.
Four out of five of them ended up with the scorpion walking into a pool of water.

I've seen that video. They do it the luck-based way which is why they failed so many times. Letting them walk away gives you a high chance of them despawning or going into water. They're able to despawn within seconds if you're unlucky, and can do so right in front of you.

More on topic: I got 4 pieces of the bug set today, with my highest being 136 point Golden Stag.
 
Do you get an item for beating 80 even if the high score is higher then the bug you gave Nat?
 
I turned in the smallest bugs first and already went through my stash of bugs :( the highest I got was 121 points and only got a butterfly wallpaper and honeybee chest...no way I am winning this or getting any more furniture...everything I gave him he said was lacking...even my biggest elephant beetle...the one bug he liked was my smallest goliath beetle...seriously?!
 
Pretty sure you have to be first-place AND over 80 pts to get bug series.
 
I stashed a bunch of bugs aside days ago and I put them in my closet according to size...apparently that doesn't matter to the crazy old bean!
I have no idea how I can top my points now with the standard bugs in town...oh well. Will have to wait for the next one...I only want a few pieces of the furniture, and those will probably be the last ones he would give me LOL

- - - Post Merge - - -

it seems you have to not only be first but have more points than your current highest...I thought it just went by size...I started with fleas and mosquitos and worked my way up...but it doesn't work that way apparently...will know better for next time.
