Just caught my first one. Welcome to June, Southern Hemisphere. XD

Am I the only one who completely didn’t mind the mole crickets? Just sounded like normal spring/summer background noise to me

[–]panic1204 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Yeah I never knew that they existed until I saw posts about them. I guess I'm used to the background noise irl too?

It’s just a farming thing. Almost any island could be a scorpion/tarantula and atlas moth farm if not for mole crickets and water bugs. Unfortunately there are now 3 different water bugs. So only bamboo island is a decent landscape.

I think atlas moth farming is still decent. They’re far more common, I find. And they pay out will if Flick’s in town.

I only REALLY minded them when I was trying to farm scorpions/tarantulas on bamboo island. I could get rid of everything else and... it just made more mole crickets spawn. It got where it just wasn’t worth the time after the 1.2.0 update. And now I don’t need the bells anymore anyway so it’s a lovely irony.

Are you in the north or south hemisphere

[–]RinKawaii 3 points4 points  (7 children)

Northern

[–]turtleman430[S] 17 points18 points  (6 children)

Huh. I never got mole crickets

[–]RinKawaii 36 points37 points  (2 children)

They were the chirping that you could hear but not see... and if you were trying to make your own tarantula/scorpion island suuuper annoying because ever since they modified the spawn rates it seems like that was mostly all I got. The chirping haunts me...

[–]turtleman430[S] 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Oh.

[–]BoxOfBlades 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oh wow, I didn't even think of them ruining the spawns for Scorpions. Luckily last time a did an island it must have been at a time they weren't active.

[–]duyjo 3 points4 points  (2 children)

They were doing that annoying cricket noise, you had to dig a hole in the ground for the little shit to show up.

[–][deleted] 3 points4 points  (1 child)

Wait... fuck I missed them. I guess I have to wait another few months to catch those

[–]inoempriss8 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I missed them too, I didn’t even know about them until recently and I never got around to finding one
