It's not top tier, but planting a lot of rarer flowers makes peacock butterflies spawn like crazy. 2.5k each. It's not as much but it's free, and you do it on your own island so you can multitask while you do it
I planted orange pink and black tulips I found on tour island and they started showing up like crazy. Although new April butterflies have lowered their spawning.
New leaf was so much easier when u could just go to the tropical island and catch all the good bugs and get way more for 300,000k. And you didn’t have to go through all this shit
PLEASE NOTE: With the addition of 'Giant Water Bugs' to the spawn table, this has got a little trickier... Tarantulas will still spawn, but slower. Best bet now is to hope for a Bamboo Island (not inland water). Happy Hunting!
Mordecai245 yeah I tried it and got nothing but water bugs (no tiger beetles, wharf roaches, or tarantulas) seems like the only way to do this is for there to be no water
Walk up to them and swing your net when the Tarantula notices you, you will always catch them in mid air as they jump. No need for the trap nonsense which is just time consuming.
For anyone trying this in April be warned that giant water bugs spawn in water and mess this up. I recommend if you want to do this setting your system clock back to March so the water bugs don’t spawn
Thanks for these tips videos! I know others are doing them but much prefer your style! Even though I watched the live stream those clips still made me chuckle! You really need to make some new T-Shirt designs esp one with a picture of the Tarantula and ‘Get Frigged!’ on it! 🤣
Got lucky tonight. 2 bamboo islands! Took about an hour each but yielded 78 tarantulas! well worth the 6000 nook miles I lost. (2nd island was the stupid no bug life island) Make sure you fly after 7pm. Make sure you cut down the coconut trees too cause Atlas moths will spawn (unless you want them, they're only 3k bells) Make sure you shoo away the beetles and wharf roaches if you aren't getting the tarantulas to spawn.
A better trap is to make a L in the bottom corner of the map and the opposite top corner if you have bamboo island. If you do a 5 by 5, the tarantula will be caught on the inside of the L since it’s circling program is too small to escape . If it ends up on the same side as you, you can easily walk around the trap until it is on the inside. GL.
Does this still work? I've tried this on several islands, doing everything right; I went in the right month (December and January, N hemisphere) , I went after 7pm, picked up all flowers, weed, debris, destroyed stones, removed stumps... All that spawn are damselflies, mole crickets or snowflakes.
It took about 2 hrs after clearing the island and running around chasing the other bugs and catching the water bugs before the tarantulas spawned. I was ready to give up. I found that making simple shoveled “lines” in certain areas helped, or even boxing in certain areas with holes. But it’ll depend on the island. Basically I’d say don’t expect it to happen in an hour...do it knowing you’ll have to hunker down. Edit: I quit after catching 16.
This was such an amazing strategy, but right now with the giant water bug spawning as well, it takes a lot of time to actually catch at least 30 tarantulas.. i’m not gonna waist nook tickets in hoping of a bamboo island :(
As soon as the fireflies came out I saw no more scorpions. Fireflies were spawning like mad. Still made 150k though. I got animal crossing just this week so i didn't know about turnips yet, wish i bought 100k of them 😐
Okay about 30 mins later, I cleared the entire island I’m on, it looks a lot like the one your working with, and it’s working! I think a lot of people need to have more patience and wait for spawns, but I’ve been having a pretty good tome catching! Ty!!!!
It might be because you already three or more villagers, if you buy a house from Tom and find a spot for it in your island and then fly after all that, villagers appear :)
Could you not place one of the tarantulas in the little bug box thing on the beach then catch another one, dump the axe and pick that tarantula back up if you were that desparate? Or can you not place bugs on mystery islands like you can on your home island?
Only at night, because tarantulas spawn between 7 PM and 4 AM. Also make sure you arrive at the island after 7 pm. I read another comment that tarantulas don't spawn if you arrive too early.

You can also go wasp hunting.
what kind of rare flowers ?

@@CommandLineVulpine where can i get those kinds of flowers?
@@KJ-je9pm you breed them, you can look up flower breeding guides on google. it takes a while for them to grow though

Okk
Yea but what time, it past seven but butterflies still remain with no tarantula
More like impossible

I'm on bamboo island now but only had 2 so far
Followed this exact process and so far... I’ve caught 1 and been stung by 8 😂😂😂

Leave some trees and Atlas moths will spawn. They are worth 12,000.
@@aaron_sul those moth are not 12,000.. rather 5000 less than tarantula
@@coolasta1987 My bad, but they're easier to catch
Hope Rossmann same but have only caught none and been stung by none
I've been trying this every day and I don't think my Nintendo switch likes me cause it won't let tarantulas spawn.
If it's raining you don't even need to pick anything up. Just destroy the rocks and chase away the bugs on the sea rocks and spiders normally appear.
For anyone trying this in April be warned that giant water bugs spawn in water and mess this up. I recommend if you want to do this setting your system clock back to March so the water bugs don’t spawn
You're gonna have to cut up and dig up the palm trees in April. I just saw bugs on them and on the stumps. I also found water bugs in the river.
tried doing this on an island that doesn't spawn bugs...
I sat and watched you do this live yesterday... and yet here I am watching it again.
'GET FRIGGED' haha glad you added that bit in lol
Tried this on the Spiral island and it works. Atlas Moths seemed to spawn significantly faster as well (granted you leave the palm trees in tact).
Actually I thought the bamboo island was the best for spawning tarantulas... It is flat and pretty easy to clear out. Great video though!
Agreed! I've done it on the bamboo island 2 times already and it was easy - the preparation took like 25 minutes.
Just make sure you bring wood in case your ax breaks.
Same, if I were to call my own tarantula island it’d be the bamboo island
I agree! It works perfectly on Bamboo island.
I did this on bamboo islnd literally rn in the middle of it and all im getting is scorprions
I did it on a bamboo island just fine. I think it actually worked better because they’re one level and have no rivers or ponds
"I don't think there's a better bells-to-time ratio at the moment"

I love the disabled sisters! Their so cute!

@@poppy6635 Does it look like I give a fuck...
Another tip is to dig the upper levels full of holes so no ground bugs can spawn there

i'm still not sure on how i'm supposed to get rid of the butterflies
@@Tulip_bip there shouldn't be butterflies, you can only catch tarantulas after i think 7 pm, ive had no issues with butterflies?
@@oliviascorciolla9525 yeah, it might've just been the island i was on at the time
I cleared the island but damselflys keep spawning, idk what I should do
Really loving this game and your live streams
The butterfly's keep spawning 😭
Remove the flowers
Remove the palm trees!
You can only do this at night homie
@@Vrigzioth i did
Does this still work with scorpions?
I caught none at all...
Edit: I LITTERALLY COMMENT THIS AS I SEE ONE AND GET STUNG!
fin 2023, does this still work? I tried it but it didn’t.. the island has a fish pond only, and a cliff. I did everything and waited for 30mins…huhh
youtubers are so lucky ive folloed 3 tuturials and no luck ive wasted so many miles
I did all this, then realized tarantulas dont spawn in may😅😭
Oof
It isn’t May though?
TARANTULAS DON'T SPAWN IN JUNE DO THEY
Angel Reilly NO, SORRY
Anything you can do about the mosquitos ? Do you just have to gach them?
Please help. So I’m trying to do a tarantula island in the bamboo island and is it ok if the trees stay there?
I tried this and got stung by a scorpion 5 times in less than 15 minutes
Does this still work in 1.1.3
Planet Zoo's south america pack is out and I'm really excited! xD
I swam 4 full laps around my island 🏝️ going diving and made over 200k. After each round I would dump my stuff off and go around again. Much easier
Good Tip, Diving wasn't a feature in the game when this video was made
I’ve done this but none of the tarantulas have spawned what did I do wrong?
Does it still spawn if you got stung once on a nook island?
The bamboo island worked well for me!
If you make noise while standing in the trap the tarantula will come after you
I think I’ll just use time travel and interest to get bells... (shivers)
Mines didn't work removed all the trees flowers and stones and still nothing spawned
same
do you guys know if this still works? i tried yesterday and got nothing, plus i heard it was patched 😕
i keep getting ground crickets so annoying
Does this work on every island? I tried this on spiral island and it didn’t work
I'm going this on spiral island too and it's not working. Just tons of butterflies.
Lindsey Price :/
i’m on the spiral island rn and i’ve gotten some tarantulas, gotta dig up a bunch of mole crickets though
Just a bunch of butterflies its annoying
@@josemine8863 You need to pick the flowers so butterflies don't spawn.
Is it normal that when I use nook tickets to visit islands, no villagers show up
It might be because you already three or more villagers, if you buy a house from Tom and find a spot for it in your island and then fly after all that, villagers appear :)
Does it have to be night?
Yes, tarantulas only spawn after 7pm

You can’t place them down on a nook miles island, unfortunate
Bruh, I did this on a flat island. All that spawned was the sea crickets and tiger beetles
Sadly April’s spawn table doesn’t really let this work very well anymore
@@Geekism oof, I managed to get it. You have to catch the water bugs alot. It took (I wasn't really paying attention) probably 2 hours+
Does this have to be at night or does it work in the day as well?
Only at night, because tarantulas spawn between 7 PM and 4 AM. Also make sure you arrive at the island after 7 pm. I read another comment that tarantulas don't spawn if you arrive too early.
cgk333 thank you. Managed to catch a few from a different island. Got bitten by a lot first though lol
Michelle Moon lol me too!! Try using the U shaped trap. It makes it so much easier to catch them!
I did all this and they still won't spawn because of the fireflies...:"( I'm sad...
I got tarantula island right now! Just have to trap one and the rest won't attack.
Tell me how I keep getting no ppl in the island I go in
I caught 4 atlas moths and 2 giant water bugs but so far no tarantulas
I did everything he did, its been about 20 minutes and there has only been one that spawned. Idk what I did wrong lol
It doesn’t work anymore for me because of the waterbug !!
Same, spiders spawn for me now every 3 minutes or so
Same ! That pesky water bug is ruining everything
It doesn’t work, no spiders spawn and I did everything
Same! I had to continuously capture them
@@peepeepoopoo5376 some people like to play it fair without cheating..
does this work on southern hemisphere??
Take the trees out on the beach due to moths spawning on them.
I was able to sneak up on one. Just play the stop/go or freeze when tarantula has some legs up. Didn’t need a trap
I do this but all I get are butterflies. any suggestions?
Courtney Vincent has to be after 7pm
Bamboo island is is reallly great for this.. what are you talking about?
Can I do this not in tarantula season
Does this work in the Southern Hemisphere?
No
Still waiting since 1 hour I think I made something wrong :(
What time is it?
i can't get butter flies to stop spawning any tips i did everything in the video
You have to arrive at the island after 7pm
What time should I do this
After 7 pm
Say hello to scorpions now.
Vilagers can be sell for 100k each🌰🔪
Only butterflies and long weird bugs are spawning what do i do
Frick You You have to ho after 7Pm!!
Does anyone know if tarantula’s also spawn on a second account?
I got scorpions instead😭 I KEEP GETTING STUNG
I’m doing it as I type and nothing is happening
I'm not getting any spiders and I have cleaned out everything. I am currently on the spiral river world.
It wont work on that island
Is this 'time of day' specific ?
Chris J yes, tarantulas spawn after 7pm
@@kinga.rogowska thanks
even though everything is removed I still only get crickets to spawn in open land and tarantulas wont spawn
I don't even have animal crossing but this was still interesting
I removed everything but only get butterflies! Anyone know why??
Gotta fly to the island after 7, if you fly before 7 the butterflies will still keep spawning.
Todd Crandall - Sounds right, I went to the island before 7 waiting for time to pass. Thanks!
Great video.
They don't spawn for me at all
Ru in the southern if you are they don’t swan there
