Animal Crossing: New Horizons has a system of fish, bugs, and deep-sea creatures cycling in and out every month. With February coming to a close, an assortment of critters will depart the islands in both hemispheres at the end of the month.
Luckily for players in the Northern Hemisphere, a handful of critters will leave. They won’t witness as many departures as in the other half this month. On the other hand, a ton of critters will bid adieu to the Southern Hemisphere islands. Players here will observe a variety of bugs and some fish taking their leave after February.

Some of these Animal Crossing: New Horizons critters will not return for quite some time. Therefore, catching the ones you require before they disappear is always a good idea. It is also important to donate the ones you catch to the Museum if you want to fill out your NookPhone’s critterpedia for unlocking golden tools.
For accomplishing this, it’s necessary to know the critters that arrived at the month’s beginning as well as the ones that will leave at the month’s end. You can read about all the new bugs, fish, and sea creatures in February here. Meanwhile, consider this article as a guide in helping you track down the departures when February ends. Keep your bug nets, fishing rods, and diving gear handy!
