Animal Crossing Logo November with Fall Background

November in Animal Crossing means new and returning bugs, fish, and deep sea creatures, alongside seasonal items and events.


Animal Crossing: New Horizons hinges on the real world, as the island transforms with the months. As November 2022 comes around, certain critters will depart, with others taking their place. Players in the Northern Hemisphere will enter their last month of autumn while the Southern Hemisphere finishes the spring. November also means a couple of returning events, including Animal Crossing‘s infamous Turkey Day. The new month is another chance to fill missing space in the museum, so players looking to complete their collection should get their nets, fishing rods, & diving suits and head out.

While fish and deep sea creatures can pop up throughout the rivers and ocean, bugs prefer different environments. Some fly around while others stay hidden in the rocks. Players missing a few bugs should make sure to look in those locations with nets at the ready.
