Haha, I read all of Nat's lines in the voice of Nigel Thornberry.
Also, Cyrus is awake today!

Geeze, I only just figured out you can stack your Fruit in your inventory.

So, a sapphire came out of the rock I broke. Does it serve any purpose?
Also, why are all these cool bugs. My town seems void of anything neat.

Ah, I did think it was the post office but could only find mail options in there. Didn't think to check the ATM. Duh..

You can sell it now for 3k bells or you can hold onto it for when the male Alpaca in Re-Tail wakes up. I'd personally recommend the latter, without giving any spoilers as to the gem's specific purpose.
Crap. I messed up in the Bug Hunt. I submitted the Birdwing Butterfly before the Horned Atlas and the Horned Elephant. I got some cool stuff, but I wanted to get as much as I could from that bug-thief, Nat.
I also got my first badge today: Letter Writing. I feel like such a dork.

Hercules is better than the birdwing if there were no multipliers applied. But once the size and the color factor in on the score, any big-ass butterfly, moth, tarantula or beetle you have can easily go 130+ points.
My moth got 111 points. Still have a Birdwing butterfly in my pocket though. But I guess no villager will go over 111.

What's the recommended order for submitting bugs from the island? I have around 6 different species I caught.

Here's how I keep track of my orchards:
Also, just rearranged my house to attempt some feng shui:
...following Lyle's instructions:
It's funny to imagine Lyle and Nook stuck in that building together all day. I can't imagine they get along all that well.

I would always start with some more reglular onces like the tiger butterfly or monarch butterfly and build up from there.
I've done emperor butterfly > agria butterfly > oak silk moth.

Just went to the island for the first time, and oh my god the song that the Kapp'n sings is goddamn hilarious. This game is charming as fuck.
Can I catch these crazy bugs you guys are referring to on the island and bring them back for the bug catching contest?

I'm not sure if I did something to screw up my game. Last night, just out of curiosity, I changed my 3DS' date to 2 years in the future, just to see what would happen. One of my villagers saw me and said something like "Woah... where have you been???". I thought that was funny. Anyway, after that I turned my 3DS off without saving. But this morning when I started my game, before heading into town I received a message from resseti(???) and he told me that I left my last play session without saving and he asked me why. I said because I ran out of battery. He said something like, be careful in the future. Anyway, then when I walked around my village I noticed that all the trees were full of fruits and there were flowers and grass everywhere, way more then last night... Like a long time had passed. Did I screw something up???

That's what happens when a mayor ditches his town for 2 years.
I doubt you screwed anything up though, the game kinda runs on the 3DS time and date, so I guess you just sped some of the processes up.

It doesn't really matter, the agria is usually smaller than the emperor but yet it did better. Because it had magnificent colors and it's rarer to find.
go for small beetle, like cyclommatus beetle or saw stag, just to barely pass through the 1st place spot. I think it was 86 points in my town. Once you got first place, submit the more bigger insects. If you have a goliath beetle, horned atlas, oil moth, birdwing, horned hercules, golden stag, submit it last as those bugs can easily get your score to 100+ making it hard for you to pass through the score you attained.
Bought the game last night on whim (stupid e-shop making me even more prone to impulsive purchases >.>) and started playing a bit. Couldn't do much as it was 5 am and everyone was asleep...
Today I caught some Raja Butterfly which gave me enough point to get a special carpet (than I can't use because my house isn't built yet) then ran around picking up thing in order to pay my first down payment.
I'd like to improve my approval rating among the citizen but all they're talking about is the bug-off so I guess I'll have to wait till it's over.
I guess I've done everything I could right now with the stuff I have (still missing a fishing rod), so I'll just stop playing until the bug-off is over.

Flower shop finally opened up in my town. Looks I'll have some hybrid breeding to do next week
If I am not playing when the Bug Hunt ends, will I miss the prizes?
I have 135, I think. That score should be good. The villagers don't have access to the island. lol

You can collect your price between six pm and nine pm, if you're not playing it will be in the mail the next day.
I don't remember how to catch bees.
When the hive drop I run, equip the net and wait for bees to be visible on the screen but they sting me while the move is in the middle of its course, maybe I have to trigger the action instantly after equipping the net even if I still don't see the bees?

They get mailed to you
OHHHHHHHHHHH I get it now. The "size" factor isn't based on the overall size of the bug, but rather how big it is relative to other bugs of its species. At least, this is what I understand after reading a guide.
That makes sense. Problem is I don't remember which of my bugs are biggest. I don't suppose there's a way to check a bug's size after it's been caught? I couldn't figure out how to do it earlier.

So I forgot to turn off my 3DS Wi-Fi when I went to the store last night to pick up The Last of Us and my battery died. Poor Mr. Resetti's been made redundant. :[
That's right. And it annoys me that you can't check your bugs after you stocked them. You gotta have a system of putting them away in your bag so you know which one you've caught and write down the size. But that is a lot of work
No, but if you put them at the Able Sisters' shop, they might wear them.

OK I forgot to mention that after resseting the game, I changed the date back to 2 years before (today) so that my experience wouldn't be changed. I thought I could go on like nothing happened. I suspect that the game knows I did it but I'm not 100% sure. I find it odd that there's grass everywhere and the trees are all full of fruits. What I don't get is that none of my villagers have said anything about my leaving for 2 years... I'm not sure what to think.

I've had TLOU since yesterday morning but I can't even manage to pull myself away from AC long enough to insert the disc.
