Animal Crossing: New Horizons has a range of features that closely resemble natural phenomena and real-life activities. Catching a variety of critters and going deep-sea diving are two of the most pleasurable pastimes in the game.

The social sim operates a system of fish, bugs, and deep-sea creatures that migrate in or out on a monthly basis. March is a special month for Animal Crossing: New Horizons because it marks the first anniversary of the game’s launch. Besides setting up their islands with the recently introduced Mario-themed items, players have a brand new batch of critters to catch this month.

We have listed all the new bugs, fish, and sea creatures available in March for both hemispheres below to help you track the ones you need. Since some critters are migrating back to the islands after a while, those who have been playing since launch might find a few familiar names.

These critters will stay around for more than a month, and it is important to donate the ones you catch to Blathers for completing the exhibits in your Museum. Besides, they also contribute to filling out your NookPhone’s Critterpedia for unlocking golden tools. Keep your bug nets, fishing rods, and diving gear handy!
