How does one get a snail? I've NEVER seen one on any flower during any
of the summer months in the game.

How does one get a pill bug? I've banged rocks with shovels often but
have never seen anything.

Banded dragonfly....my nemesis. I just can't catch one....help!

Pondskater...no idea how to go about catching it using a net near the
pond?

Mosquito....I never see one til I get bit...I grab the net, but it's
gone.

Bee...same thing....you can't hold the net while shaking the tree. A
bee nest drops, I struggle to get the net in hand, but even so, I don't
know how to catch the bees in it, and I just end up stung in the eye.

And last but not least, I've one fish left to catch....the Guppy of all
thngs. I have not caught one although I've fished til I'm sick of
fishing....and at the proper times/areas. Am I missing something? Are
they so small they are hard to see underwater?

Any help from the expert players out there most appreciated!

Thanks, Libby

Stand to the north of the tree (so that you're hidden by it) that will force
the bees to circle around, giving you time to get out your net. You
shouldn't even have to move to catch them, but it's still very difficult to
get the timing down.

If I feel motivated enough, I'll dig out my player's guide later so I can
give you the offical details from Nintendo on the times of day when you can
find what you're looking for.

Hi figmentPez....glad to see you are still on the board...
Actually, I now have the times of the day, etc. from a FAQ.
The problems I have with the creatures I listed above are more to do
with just not finding/seeing them, even at the correct times, or mssing
the "trick" to nailing them, as in the bee scenario.....any advice
appreciated. And thanks for the tip about catching the bee...

They're pretty small, they are there, I've caught them. They're small and
grey, round at first and then they start moving around after a litlte bit.

Very difficult. The only advice I can offer is to try and have a very open
screen so you can move around to get to it. They move in a straight line and
are nearly impossible to catch.

I'm not sure what the problem is, just go to one of the smaller bodies of
water, and enter/leave until one shows up, then catch it as it skates near
the edge.

Turn up the sound, I think you can hear them buzzing, but I don't remember
for certain. They are hard to see, but they are there.

Guppies are the same size as goldfish and other tiny fish.

I haven't caught a bee or banded dragon fly yet, so I can't help you there.
However, snails are found only in the rain, and they are on flowers. They
Guppy is a small shadow (almost tiny), and it is found in rivers and ponds
from April-November in the morning-afternoon.

Good luck!
