How to Get Horned Atlas in Animal Crossing: New Horizons

The Horned Atlas is one of the unique bugs that players can acquire in Animal Crossing: New Horizons during July.

One of the most exciting aspects of Animal Crossing: New Horizons is when a different month arrives. The reasoning for why it is an exciting time when a different month comes is the addition of bugs that were not available for players to encounter and catch in the previous month. This will be the case for July, as players will have a group of bugs that they now have the opportunity to catch. One of these bugs is the Horned Atlas, and we have everything you need to know to catch a Horned Atlas covered for you.
