Animal Crossing: New Horizons is one of the most popular titles in the Animal Crossing series. Furthermore, it has generated an enormous amount of profit since its release. As of March 21, 2022, Nintendo has itself reported that New Horizons has sold over 38.64 million units and consolidated as the second highest-selling title after Mario Kart 8 Deluxe.

In addition to that, the 2.0 update for ACNH has accelerated the video game’s popularity at a tremendous amount of speed. It introduced several new mechanics, characters, and items to the game. Arguably, the cooking mechanics might be the most highlighting feature of the 2.0 update.

Developers also love to migrate critters from New Horizons on a monthly basis. Since we are already in mid-May, here are some of the effortless ways to catch Scorpions in the game.
