You may not have managed to catch the elusive Stringfish before its departure yesterday, but the good news is there are a bunch of new bugs and fish available now! With every new month in Animal Crossing: New Horizons comes a slightly different group of fish and bugs to collect. After all, things come and go with the seasons. But what does April have to offer? If you’re in the Northern Hemisphere, quite a lot. In the Southern Hemisphere, there are two lonely, sad additions to the world.
