With the end of February just around the corner, it is your last chance to catch some critters before they disappear for at least a few months.
If you are not a fan of in-game time travelling, but do not want to wait that long to fill your Critterpedia with these new entries, take a look at the list below and make sure you have all of the bugs, fish, and other sea creatures in your collection (and also among your museum’s exhibits!).
