Animal Crossing: City Folk Question- I need some help with bug catching fishing, and quick money schemes...?

Im a n00b at the Animal Crossing series... and I need some help!

First things first...

Bug Catching-

I need a 101 on this subject, because I can't find any bugs! Please teach me how to use the net and give me some pointers.

Finding Bugs-

Alright, I need to find the DUNG BEETLE (2) and the PILL BUG (Im not sure of the exact name). Could someone tell me all they know on these bugs like what season or where they are mainly found or ANY INFORMATION.

Finally,

Quick Money Schemes.-

This one is for the pros, but what are some quickie ways for me to start rolling in the boolah (bells). Fishing, digging, and shaking trees is all I know, and I need some very quick ways of paying off over 100,000 bells of debt...

Thanks to all gaming nerds and people alike that will help me... I feel kind of embaressed asking a question like this seeming as if I have a ton of gaming knowledge).

Thanks, Nerds...

Hyp64- A Gaming God... except on AC XD

My Wifi works when it wants to

I cant visit any towns...

    These are the 3 best money making methods of Animal Crossing (not always the quickest though)

    1. Fishing - Summer time fishing in the evenings (any season will have evenings as the best fishing times) is the best time to fish and the ocean has the rarest fish in it and will give you the most bells

    2. White Turnips - Buy as many as you can find room for, since Tom Nook will almost always have a more expensive price for turnips throughout the week

    3. Foreign Fruit Trees - This method takes the longest, but is the best money maker in the game. Just get some foreign fruit trees and plant them and make sure you don't step on them. In 2 weeks you could easily grow 20-30 trees (if you use wi-fi). 30 trees will give you 45,000 bells every 3 days with little work involved. If you have the maximum if 200 trees, all fi reign fruit then you will get 300,000 bells every 3 days.

    Bugs:

    Dung beetle - You will find him one day rolling either dung or a snowball (depending on season) so if you see a rolling ball, check

    Pill Bug - Just hit a bunch of rocks with a shovel and one will come out (looks like a small specter of dirt)

    Ok.

    Moneymaking- The lazy way is hacking it through the homebrew channel. The cool way is going to another town and picking fruits that are not the same as the original one in your town. Plant them and water them. Accelerate time in the Main Menu and water it each day. After 5 Days they should be fully grown. Tom Nook buys foreign fruits at 500 bells per fruit. Occasionally you will find coconuts on shore. Plant it and do the same process as the one mentioned above. Coconuts are also foreign fruits.

    Bugs- Pill Bugs are found when you hit rocks with shovels. Occasionaly hiting rocks with shovelsmake them throw bells. When this happens keep hiting it with a shovel until the money stops coming. Pick the money up from the ground. You should have about 2,000 more bells.

    I know mostly everything about AC because I got all three games. The only one im missing is the Japan-only Nintendo 64 game which is exactly like the GameCube version(LOL!)

    I dont have acces to my Friend Code right now but try keeping in touch at: narutofanex@ (Intentionally left blank) yahoo.com

    I put the (Intentionally left blank) thing to prevent spambots.

    Note i dont respond right away.

    What I do is time travel, but only by a day at a time, so I don't mess things up. I made 100,000 bells in one day by the following: Hitting money rocks. Digging up the stars in the ground and sell them. Catch and sell fish and bugs. Selling any furniture I don't want. Making money trees. Making coconut trees and sell the coconuts. Selling seashells and fossils, which are quite a lot. I do this, save and quit, and change the date to a day later. It's actually pretty easy. After a few days on animal crossing, time traveling of course, I have 200,000 bells. Good luck!
