September is here and with it brings a host of new bugs and fish to catch in the addictive Animal Crossing: New Horizons for Nintendo Switch. Some entries in the table below (thanks to Polygon) will seem familiar and that’s because they may have appeared in your game previously, but don’t fret as there’s still a fair few things to catch for the loveable Blathers. The lists are split up between the northern hemisphere and southern hemisphere and remember to check your Critterpedia in-game to see what’s what and which critters you need to catch to complete the collections.
