The Miyama Stag is the most common variant of Stag beetles in Animal Crossing. This bug has featured in three major titles in the series, namely City Folk, New Leaf, and New Horizons, and in the spin-off title Pocket Camp.

In the Northern Hemisphere, the Miyama Stag can be seen from July to August and in the Southern Hemisphere, these bugs are available only in January. These are quite common and can be found on trees all day in Animal Crossing: New Horizons.

As with the other bugs in the game, players should approach the Miyama Stag stealthily with their nets ready. Once they are near, just hit the A button and they will have a Miyama Stag in their inventory. Being such a common variant, this bug can only fetch 1000 Bells if sold at Nook's Cranny, and 1500 Bells if sold to Flick.
