Month after month, the Nintendo Switch video game Animal Crossing: New Horizons is updated with new or different fish and critters that we can get. This is a way to keep the title constantly active, and incidentally to be able to expand the great museum of Socrates. It is one of the reasons why players are still involved in the game, and an excuse to come back after some time of inactivity.
In this month of February 2023, the list of bugs has been updated again to give players new opportunities to complete their museum. Until February 28th, everyone will be able to get them. Below we will leave you with the new bugs for February, the ones that are in but will be gone and the ones that remain in the complete list.
