How to hunt a scorpion easily in Animal Crossing

The simplest and safest way to catch a scorpion only requires a net and a little patience. When you see a scorpion, approach it slowly with the net up. If he sees you, he will immediately go into defensive position. At this point, stop and wait until he calms down. Once that happens, start getting closer again. He will re-enter his defensive position. You will have to repeat this until you get close in order to use your net on him. You can only take a few steps at a time. If it hits you and stings you, it kills you and you wake up in front of your house. You won’t lose anything, but the scorpion you’re trying to catch might not be there when you return.

If you are scared or don’t have the patience for the standard method of catching scorpions, you can make scorpion “traps” by digging holes with your shovel. Scorpions cannot jump over holes. The trick is to dig four holes around you. When they start chasing you, run towards the holes and jump to the center. The scorpion will not be able to reach you, but he will still be within range of your network.so you can safely catch it from the other side.
