To catch Brown Cicada in Animal Crossing: New Horizons, you need to be during the months of July and August, out and about on your island from 8am - 5pm. These bugs make a lot of noise, making it fairly obvious when one is nearby, so listen out and check the trees when you hear them. Here are the key details you need to know to catch Brown Cicada in Animal Crossing: New Horizons:
- When: 8am - 5pm, July - August
- Where: On Trees
- Value: 250 Bells
The Brown Cicada makes a much higher pitched and longer churring noise that its larger brethren, meaning you should be able to hear it from afar. It’s also a strong brown color, making it distinct from the black cicada brethren or stags you’ll spot on trees. If you run or sprint near the tree it’s on then you’ll scare it off, so get your net out in advance and hold A to slowly approach the tree once you spot one.

We always recommend giving your first catch to Blathers’ museum – though he’s never happy to see a bug – but once that’s sorted you can sell any future brown cicadas in Animal Crossing: New Horizons to Timmy and Tommy for 250 bells, or wait until Flick visits your island to sell for a bit extra.
