New Fish and Bugs in July: Everything arriving and leaving this month in Animal Crossing: New Horizons
Beetles about.
July marks the arrival, and departure, of a range of new fish, bugs and sea creatures in Animal Crossing: New Horizons. Much like June and the upcoming August, you'll be able to catch these new critters on your island.
Catching every fish, bug and sea creatures in New Horizons will not only help complete the Museum, but will unlock the DIY recipes for two of the Golden Tools.
The Critterpedia details when each creature appears on your island, but, to gain this information, you must first catch the creature in question. To help you out, this page explains exactly which fish and bugs arrive and vanish in July.

New Animal Crossing bugs, fish and sea creatures arriving in July
Each month in New Horizons brings at least one new fish, bug or sea creatures for you to hunt down on your island.
Successfully catching these creatures will help you complete the exhibits at the Museum and your own Critterpedia, so it's always a good idea to know which critters are heading to your island.
It should be noted that the following only applies to the northern hemisphere.

The Animal Crossing 2.0 update and Happy Home Paradise is here! We can help you with the new additions - including where to find Brewster, Gyroids, new villagers, ordinances, new fences, storage shed, new hairstyles, Froggy Chair, group stretching and Kapp'n boat tours. Cooking is now unlockable, so you need to know how to make both flour and sugar, as well as how to grow carrots, potatoes and tomatoes. Meanwhile, if you're new to Animal Crossing, our New Horizons tips can help with the basics. From the off, there's fish and bugs to catch, flowers and fruit to grow with. One long term goal is building your Happy Home Academy score. Finally, you need tools such as the new ladder and vaulting pole to fully explore.
Animal Crossing bugs, fish and sea creatures leaving in July
There's only so much room on your island in New Horizons, so, for more bugs, fish and sea creatures to arrive, some have to leave. You'll want to ensure you've caught at least one of these creatures before they leave, because you'll have to wait a couple of months for them to return.
Don't worry too much if you do miss a fish, bug or sea creature - they will return to your island eventually.
If you want to ensure that you don't miss anyone though, then it's a good idea to try catching these creatures closer to the beginning of the month. This will prevent the end-of-the-month bug, fish or sea creature hunt rush.
Our dedicated guides for both fish, bugs and sea creatures will also supply you with a host of bug hunting or fishing tips.
It should be noted that the following only applies to the northern hemisphere.
