"I caught a longhorn beetle! I had to steer it toward my net!" —New Leaf

The longhorn beetle (ゴマダラカミキリ, Gomadara-kamikiri?) is a bug that can be found in all versions of Animal Crossing series except New Horizons. It is quite uncommon in all Animal Crossing series games. It typically appears on trees, with the exceptions of City Folk and New Leaf where it will only appear on tree stumps. It sells for 200 Bells in Animal Forest, but 260 bells in every other game it is found in.

Donation to the museum[]

As with all other bugs in the Animal Crossing series, the longhorn beetle can be donated to the Museum followed by a small talk by Blathers, the curator.

In Animal Crossing[]

"Hoo my! Those sharpish mandibles... truly frightening. Honestly, what could be more off-putting than these? And the antennae! Why on earth are they so very thick? Blech! Most objectionable! In a word: bad!"

In Wild World[]

Hoo, I say! Be sure to keep your fingers away from that savage maw! And what ostentatious antennae! I mean, really! Blech! Such foulness...

In City Folk[]

"The multiple varieties and colorful body types of the longhorn beetle make it popular with collectors. It stands toe-to-toe with the dynastid and stag beetles in its popularity with children, eh wot? But those long, skinny legs and long antennae drop it right off this owl's list! How utterly revolting..."

In New Leaf[]

In New Leaf an information board in the bug exhibit will list information about this bug.

"Longhorn beetles have very strong mandibles, and both adult and larval forms eat through the bark of trees. They have extremely long antennae that are sometimes even longer than their bodies. The adults have such strong mandibles that they can bite off people's hair. And keep in mind that hair isn't the only thing they'll bite, so be careful when handling them!"

After donation, it can be found on the second tier of the bug section of the museum, in the middle enclosure containing two trees and a tree stump, on the tree stump with the violin beetle. This enclosure also contains the walking leaf and oak silk moth to name a few others.

Further information[]

Anoplophora glabripennis1

Asian Longhorn Beetle

Anoplophora glabripennis, a longhorn beetle in the family Cerambycidae, is an Asian species that has spread across the world and become a pest in many of these locations. By boring into Chinese trees and as a result being transported in lumber transportation, Asian Longhorns or Starry-sky beetles have set foot in both America and Europe. They cause serious problems to logging industries all over the world, because they infect and weaken trees. This has become a very significant issue in British Columbia, amongst other places.
