Weird red bouncy flower

[ForeverGaming]

So, I was doing some TTing to get a villager to move out and afterwards there is now a weird bouncy red flower thing that is attracting flies. I?ve used all my tools to try to get rid of it but nothing works. Anyone had this before and know how to get rid of it? Also, it?s moved location once if that helps to know what I?m talking about.

A rafflesia. It grows when your town has little trees, lots of stuff lying around, and lots of weeds. they go away when you get more trees and clean up.
I think they'e cool.

It is called a rafflesia, and according to the AC Wiki it spawns in towns that have very little trees and less than 3 public works projects.

A rafflesia can only spawn in underdeveloped towns and is no statement about the cleanliness of a town. The town has to have less than three Public Works Projects (permanent ones count as well) and a low number of trees. Only one rafflesia can spawn at a time. Against popular belief, weeds, trash, lack of flowers, time traveling, town rating and town ordinance are not involved in the spawning process. Therefore, plucking all weeds and removing all items from the ground will not get rid of a rafflesia. However, planting more trees and/or building more Public Works Projects will. As soon as these conditions are met, the rafflesia will appear wilted on the next day and entirely disappear on the day after that.

It’s when your town is a mess. I currently have one too.

Oh okay, that explains why I have one. Thank you ^^ guess I have to go plant more trees and build more PWPs

It can appear with no PWP and a lot of trees. I had one in my spare town that just grew perfect fruit.
It also grew weeds. Think the amount of trees was close to 300 at the time. After pulling the weeds the flower stayed.
