Tip for catching bagworm

I feel bad for the people hunting everywhere for bagworms. One day I walked along and randomly shook a tree for the heck of it and a bagworm popped out xD
 
Just caught one by just hitting the trees with my net. definitely works! hit every tree in my town and nothing, went into a building and came out and started again and about half way through got one! :)
 
Make sure you hit the trees with the net from both sides. Otherwise you can still miss it. I hit the same tree from the left side twice and then randomly from the right, and then caught a bagworm that time.

And don't forget if you go inside a building, all insects reset so then you can go around again. There is an insect "limit" so once you make a circuit around the town no more will spawn until you scare some off or catch them, but this is time consuming and it easier just to wipe them by entering a building.

I figured you could since you can still catch it once it goes back into the tree. I just didn't realize they were also in the fruit trees. x0D
 
Oh my god I love you for this tip! Unfortunately I caught mine yesterday, after many bee stings :( Oh well, it will be useful if it definitely works with the spiders!
