Grasshopper

The Grasshopper is an insect that can be sold for 160 bells. It is found from July until September.

Donating to the Museum
As with all insects in the series, the grasshopper can be donated to the Museum by talking to Blathers, who will give a talk on the insect.

In Wild World
"Autumn bugs like this one often sound alluring, wot? Even so, one look at their plump, repellant bellies is all it takes to......snap me back to reality! Blech! So very vile..."

In City Folk
After catching a grasshopper, it can be donated to the museum. There, Blathers the curator will speak about it:

"Have you ever noticed that these little fellows have a tendency to easily lose or break a leg? Hoo, yes, you catch one in your net, but in doing so you pop off a leg. Then you grow sad and nauseated. And then the broken-off leg keeps kicking despite being no longer attached! And then you flee in terror!"

The grasshopper can then be found on the central terrace of the insect room, by the easternmost stump, along with the Walking Leaf.
