Rare beetles are quick to fly away if they know you're coming for them, so you'll need to be stealthy. Here are their names and values (with Bell Boom on): Above, you'll see the eight beetles that you should be focusing on. Catch butterflies with your net, and then release them to free up more inventory space. Chase hermit crabs and roaches into the ocean. If you have trees on the grassy area, scare off anything that isn't a rainbow stag or giant stag by running at them or swinging your net near them. It seems that only a certain amount of bugs can be on the island at any one time, so you'll want to scare away any of them that aren't worth your time. Don't plant them too far down on the island, as it'll make it too difficult to see if they have beetles without getting close enough to scare them away. Grow between one and three palm trees (made with coconuts or bananas) in the middle of the island on either side of the grassy oasis. Some beetle hunters like to keep them to grab the occasional rainbow stag or giant stag, but they're rare when compared to the useless fruit beetles and miyama stags that tend to grow here.Ĭontinue on to see how to optimize your island.Ībove, you'll see an ideal tree placement. The rarest (and most valuable) beetles appear only on the palm trees that grow in the sand, so you should cut down and dig up any trees on the grassy area. You'll want to grab your net and fishing rod every time, but you'll also need a shovel and axe if it's your first time, as you'll need to. Lloid hangs out near the entrance, and will lend you anything you need. Don't worry about the fee, as you're going to get it back several hundredfold. Head to Kapp'n at night (between 7pm and 6am is a good bet) and pony up the 1,000 bells needed to sail to the island. This will net you more bells for everything you sell. In order to get the most value out of your beetles, make sure that Bell Boom is the currently selected ordinance. As mayor of your town, you've probably already set one of the ordinance options.
