In Animal Crossing: New Horizons, new months bring changes to the flora and fauna on everyone's islands. Whether that island is getting ready for winter in the Southern Hemisphere or summertime in the Northern, players can look forward to new bugs to catch with a gold net.
Bugs in June
There are several bugs leaving Animal Crossing as the calendar moves from May to June for both the Northern and Southern hemisphere folks. For Northern hemisphere islands, players will have access to 48 total summer bugs with six of those being brand new to June. Eight of those bugs will no longer be available after June is over. In the Southern hemisphere, winter bugs have come out to play. They will have 20 total winter bugs, three of which are brand new. None of the winter bugs change between June and July in the Southern hemisphere.
Northern Hemisphere Bugs
While many Animal Crossing: New Horizons are looking forward to the end of the Stamp Rally, there will also be new bugs coming and old bugs leaving as May turns to June. The northern hemisphere will be getting six new bugs this June.

The bugs leaving at the end of June as part of the continuous updates to Animal Crossing: New Horizons are: Common butterfly, Yellow butterfly, Peacock butterfly, Firefly, Ladybug, Violin beetle, Pill bug, and Centipede.
Southern Hemisphere Bugs
Since winter is setting in for the southern hemisphere, their bugs are going to be a lot fewer and very different from the summer folks. In the south, players are getting:
The Emperor butterfly - Flying - 5pm and 8am
Rajah Brooke's birdwing - Flying - 8am and 5pm
