Animal Crossing: New Horizons new fish, bugs, and sea creatures to catch in March

It’s March again, which means Animal Crossing: New Horizons players may be seeing new critters come around. The game released in March, so if you’re here one year (or more) later, then these will all be very familiar to you.


There’s no rush to catch any of them, as they’ll stick around for much longer than a month, but make sure you donate any new finds to Blathers to complete your Museum. You can tell when you’ve caught a new creature because your character will exclaim “Yes!” before they say the bug or fish’s name.


You can also check in your Critterpedia to see if you’ve donated the bug fish or not. If you have, there will be a little owl icon next to the critter name. (Note that these emblems won’t show up if you’re on somebody else’s island.)


We’ve broken up the list of new bugs and fish to catch in March by hemisphere below, so you can check which ones are new in your area. Keep in mind that some of these are returning to your island after being previously available, so if they seem familiar, you likely caught them during an earlier availability.
