New Bugs, Fish, Sea Creatures In June For Animal Crossing: New Horizons (Northern & Southern Hemisphere)
June brings the start of Summer in the Northern Hemisphere with new bugs, fish, and sea creatures to enjoy in Animal Crossing: New Horizons (ACNH)! In this guide, we’ll tell you every new critter joining your island during June.
Each and every month in Animal Crossing: New Horizons brings a different set of fish or bug creatures that can appear on your Animal Crossing island depending on the current month from the real-time clock.
That means you can potentially discover some new fish, bugs, and sea creatures on your island to catch when June begins that weren’t previously available to catch during May! This guide is applicable for all years, including 2023.
So if you want to catch every single creature to complete your NookPhone’s Critterpedia for getting golden tool items and donate every critter to the Museum, it’s important to know which critters have arrived this month and make sure you catch them as soon as you can to get an early start.
This guide covers both the Northern Hemisphere and the Southern Hemisphere islands — you’ll find the Southern information below the Northern sections.
The Summer season truly begins in earnest for Northern Hemisphere islands with June as as a variety of exciting and high-value sharks become available in the ocean! These include the Saw Shark, Hammerhead Shark, Great White Shark, and White Shark. Look out for the elusive Dorado and Arowana in your island’s rivers too!
Note that creatures are the same between 2020 – 2023, so you will see similar critters if you have played for a long time. This guide is written inclusive of no matter when someone may have started playing or taken a break, so repeats will show up sometimes!
