Every new bug and fish in Animal Crossing: New Horizons this May

May 2020 marks the second full month that Animal Crossing: New Horizons has been compelling its players to go out into the wilds of their islands to catch all sorts of bugs and fish so they can fill up Blathers' museum.

Each new calendar month introduces new bugs and fish to your island, which varies depending on whether or not you're in the northern or southern hemisphere in real life. Especially for any completionists trying to get everything in the game, reference our guide to see what's new in the waters and skies of your island.

Animal Crossing: New Horizons features a massive list of bugs and fish that can spawn each month, in some cases adding creatures you've never seen before to the game. April brought the Clown Fish and Agrias Butterfly to some players' islands, but what does May have in store?

Whether you plan on turning in these bugs and fish to Blathers or selling them for some quick bells, these are the creatures that should be on your radar when you get a free moment in between Nature Day and May Day. We've included what the animal is, how much they are worth, and where you can find them.
