Animal Crossing New Horizons Rice Grasshopper

Here are the months of availability of the Rice Grasshopper in ACNH.

  • North Hemisphere: August, September, October, November
  • South Hemisphere: February, March, April, May

Along with the months, you should know the active hours of this bug and that is from 8 am to 7 pm. You will find it on the ground so keep an eye there during these timings. This bug is a fairly common one so selling it will only fetch you 400 Bells.

In order to catch it, you have to be prepared with your net. Slowly walk towards the bug so that you don’t scare it away. At the right time, swing your net by pressing A and you will catch the Rice Grasshopper in ACNH. You have to be extra careful because if it escapes and jumps into nearby water, you will lose your chance of catching it that time. But if that happens, don’t worry, you will get another opportunity soon.

If you decide to donate it to Blathers, he will express his disgust about this creature and tell you how it eats rice plants. But the Rice Grasshopper is also an edible bug so the revenge is pretty sweet, according to him. Very dark, Mr. Blathers.

So, that’s everything on how to catch a Rice Grasshopper in ACNH. Don’t miss out on the latest additions to your island, namely the Soft-Shelled Turtle and a Ray. Plus, there’s a Fireworks Festival in August and we have covered all about it. Here’s how to get rewards from Redd’s Raffle Tickets, make Custom Fireworks and get cute Bopper Headbands easily.
