Bug Off
The Bug-Off is a bug-hunting contest, hosted by Flick, on the fourth Saturday of each month during the summer (June-September in the northern hemisphere). Since this event always occurs on a Saturday, it replaces KK Slider who will visit on the Friday before instead.
During the contest, you can pay 500 bells to enter, then spend 3 minutes caatching as many bugs as you can. When the time is up, return to Flick to collect your points. You gain 1 point for every bug caught, plus an extra 2 points if you caught 3 or more bugs:
| Bugs Caught | Points Rewarded |
|---|---|
| 1 | 1 |
| 2 | 2 |
| 3 | 3+2 = 5 |
| 4 | 4+2 = 6 |
| 5 | 5+2 = 7 |
| 6 | 6+2 = 8 |
| 7 | etc. |
After hitting 100, 200 and 300 total points, you'll be told by Flick that you'll get a special reward. Trophies arrive in the mail the next day:
| 100 points |
Bronze bug trophy
|
| 200 points |
Silver bug trophy
|
| 300 points |
Gold bug trophy
|
Rewards
Once you reach 10 points, you can redeem them for a reward from Flick. There are 13 unqiue rewards to get. The first 13 you recieve will all be unqiue, and will be random after that.
