When does Flick come to town? The chameleon will be replacing Nat from City Folk and New Leaf. The bright red color will make Flick easy to spot. He also carries a bug-catching net when he walks around town. This means he’s going to be a big hit with fans of the Animal Crossing franchise! You can expect more Flick updates in the future! But first, here are some tips for catching Flick!

Random visits
In Animal Crossing: New Horizons, Flick, a bright red chameleon, will occasionally come to visit your island. You can choose where he will appear and sell him any bugs you have for a higher price than the Nook’s Cranny. After collecting three specimens of the same bug, Flick will mail you a model of it the next day. To commission him to make a model of a bug, you must gather three specimens.
There is no specific time that Flick will come to visit your island, but he will come and go as he pleases. He’ll usually appear around 5 AM but sometimes shows up at random times. You can earn money by selling your bugs to him to boost your income. Daisy Mae is another regular vendor that comes on Sunday morning and sells turnips to Tommy and Timmy. You can use your Flick to buy items from other vendors.
Bug-off days
The third Saturday of every month is Bug-Off day. Players can meet Flick in the Residence Area and catch as many bugs as possible in three minutes. Each bug you catch will earn you one point, and players can even win extra points if they catch three in a row! To enter the Bug-Off contest, players can talk to Flick and purchase cool prizes and slick trophies.
During the Summer, you can also participate in the Bug-Off event in Animal Crossing. This competition is held on the 4th Saturday of July, August, and September. The Northern Hemisphere version of the Bug-Off runs on the fourth Saturday of July, while the Southern Hemisphere version occurs on the fourth Saturday of September. Once you’ve acquired all the necessary items to take part in the competition, you can start racing Flick around the island!
Buying bugs from him
If you don’t want to waste time hunting them yourself, Flick will take your bugs and turn them into sculptures. You can choose the type of bug you want and Flick will make a model for you. After selecting the model, he will send it off to your town. If you want a rare bug, Flick will take three of the same kind and mail it to you the next day.
Buying bugs from Flick when he comes to town requires some careful preparation. You will want to select bugs that are in good condition, as they will fetch more money if they are in good condition. It’s best to catch bugs in the summer, as they thrive then, but you can also catch them at any time of the year. Flick will pay you 1.5 times the sell price of the bugs that you catch. It’s important to remember that bugs don’t stack in your inventory, so you’ll need to use the same bug tank for three times as many bugs as he does to sell to you.
Asking him for a model of your favorite bug
One way to get a custom-made model of a bug is to ask Flick for one when he comes to animal crossing. To do so, simply hand over three of your favorite bugs to him and he’ll create a model of them for you. You’ll receive your model the next day. If you’re not interested in paying for it, these models are great as garden decorations.
In Animal Crossing: New Horizons, there are a few different vendors that appear on schedule and at random intervals. One vendor who can appear randomly in the morning is Flick. While some vendors come on a regular schedule, others can show up at random. If you’re looking for a unique vendor, Flick is a good option to visit. Flick can buy bugs and make models of them for 1.5x their normal value.
