New seasonal fish and bugs are available to catch this month, plus brand new sea creatures added in the summer update. It's July in Animal Crossing: New Horizons and that means a new set of fish and bugs to catch on your island. In this guide, we'll outline each new seasonal bug and fish arrival for the new month in both the Northern and Southern hemispheres. Remember that this isn't a list of the only critters you can catch on your island now, but newcomers that weren't around last month. This month also marks the arrival of New Horizons' summer update, which added the ability to swim and dive in your island's ocean. You can learn even more with our Animal Crossing: New Horizons guides hub. For a more comprehensive list of every creature in Animal Crossing: New Horizons, we have a full list of all 80 fish to catch, including shadow sizes, and a list of all 80 bugs to catch, with tips on tracking down the handful of rare ones. The new swimming and diving features also mean there's a whole new set of critters to catch, separate from fish--they're labeled in-game as "sea creatures," and we have a full list of every sea creature you can catch in New Horizons. Some aren't available yet, while some make their first appearance this month, so be sure to check those out! Here are all the new fish, bugs, and sea creatures you can catch in Animal Crossing: New Horizons in July. We've sorted by bells so you know what to focus on if you're waiting for Flick or C.J. to visit, but if you're a completionist, you'll want to catch them all! The blue marlin returns after it went out of season in May. Along with the napoleonfish, the blue marlin may have increased chances of appearing when it's raining--but for the blue marlin specifically, you can only catch it off the pier, so be on the lookout! Summer is beetle season on Northern Hemisphere islands. June introduced a handful, and there's even more in July. This month also brings a couple series firsts, namely the blue weevil beetle and the earth-boring dung beetle. A ton of this month's beetles spawn on coconut trees, or palm trees, so if you don't have a ton on your island, now's a good time to start planting! Remember, all sea creatures can be found by swimming and diving underwater and chasing either bubble columns or shadows you can spot while diving. You must dive under and swim towards the shadow to collect the creature. There are no newcomers to the Southern Hemisphere's seasonal bugs and fish lists in July, but you might be able to find the giant isopod while diving. Please note, we are still verifying this information, so bear with us! Check out more of our Animal Crossing guides below!
