Critters are an important factor in Animal Crossing: New Horizons. Each month brings in new fish, bugs, and deep-sea creatures which are often available for a limited time and can be found only at specific times.
Similarly, many species leave the Animal Crossing island every month and don't return for a long time. Naturally, it is important for players to track new critters making their way to the island so they can add them to their critterpedia.
More importantly, selling these rare fish and bugs fetches the players a good amount of bells and also looks great as decorating items.
However, not every player gets access to the same critters. For players in the Northern Hemisphere, spring has begun and summer isn't far away. So clearly, players in the Southern Hemisphere will have to wait a while longer to grab the critters making their way to Animal Crossing island in the month of May.
The following is a list of critters available for Animal Crossing players for both Hemispheres in May.
