Is there a way to do this without going to an island with a nearly empty inventory? I haven't seen a way to get rid of items once I'm on an island, and it seems like if you let bugs go, they just respawn on the island?

If you do it on a bamboo island just drop everything that isn't a net in a bottom corner and chase away the wharf roaches and tiger beetles, no need to catch anything that isn't a tarantula.

I dunno, I probably didn't do it optimally. I didn't bother to clear more than a couple rows of inventory and still got enough to be worthwhile. I guess you don't really NEED anything other than enough to rebuild an axe and replenish your shovel. Mostly I just ignored all the other bugs while I was clearing everything. By the end, it was only tiger beetles and spiders spawning, and running at the beetles chased them away enough to get spider spawns.

How quickly do tarantulas spawn? I felt like the couple of times I tried to make a tarantula island it took forever for them to spawn and didn't feel worth it.

It heavily depends on the layout of the island. If a lot of tiger beetles are spawning, then you'll eventually get a lot of tarantulas. But if it's mostly giant water bugs, then you're probably better off finding a new island to turn into a tarantula island.

They're uncommon spawns so it depends how quickly you can chase away anything that isn't a tarantula. That's why bamboo is ideal since the only other things that can spawn are wharf roaches and tiger beetles. Any map with ponds/rivers will spawn water beetles and they don't scatter when you run near them.

It's a lower spawn rate than other bugs, but at least you can chase the tiger beetles and warf roaches away to get another quick chance at a different spawn. It's the stupid ground roaches and water beetles that are annoying and take up a bug spawn. It's still probably the best way to make bells if you don't mind farming, outside of watching the stalk market and especially if you save them for Flick.

I recommend leaving a single tree because Atlas Moths sell better than Giant Water Bugs, even if they're no tarantula.

9 olive flounders, 12 red snappers, 2 oarfish and 2 tuna. Not a bad haul so far!

From earlier: AFAIK your time / clock is locked in to whatever hour you started the Nook Miles ticket tour.

You can't start an island at 4 PM and stay until night and expect tarantulas, I don't think.

SURELY bringing 240 bait to a Nook Island would be more than enough to catch 3 barreleyes for CJ, right?

Nnnnnnnope. I used every last bait and I caught ONE barreleye. I burned through 9 fishing rods. It was never raining, but I somehow caught 2 coelacanths.

Ok now that I'm all done with this island, goons you should absolutely leave a single tree if you've got Water Bugs on your self-made Tarantula Island. It had an Atlas Moth on it on like every other pass, I easily replaced all my water bugs with them by the time I was full up.

I’ve got a dumbass question -

What is the difference between a river and a lake?

Do rivers gave to be water connected to river mouths? Are lakes a certain size?


Let’s say I have a non-connected body of water that is 4x50. Is this a river or a lake?

Let’s say I have a 50x50 square of water connected almost directly to a river mouth. Is this a river or a lake?

If it connects to the sea, it's a river.

I made a little waterfall zone of double level waterfalls from three sides into a pond on the base level, and the fish in it are river fish. It doesn’t connect to any river mouths or go anywhere, so I think it might also be the case that waterfalls make a body of water a river even if it doesn’t connect to the sea.

A similar question: I made a thicc portion to my river a la the ponds in the old games, is this a pond or are only the entirely disconnected ponds ponds?
