This lovely fellow is nat. Every third saturday from June to September he holds the bug off. The bug off is an event in which the player and villagers compete to catch the best bugs and win the first prize trophy. Not all villagers participate in the contest, it is completely random. The villagers that do not compete stay in their homes and will have normal dialogue with the player while those that do participate will only talk about the bug off with the player until the bug off ends.
Bugs are judged in criteria rating their size and color. For example beetles will earn the player higher points since they are big in size and colorful. While a snail will not get the player many points since they are too small and lack colors. Nat also eats all the bugs that are given to him to evaluate. Nat also gives the player a prize every time they give him a bug that puts them into first place.
Bug off's are one of the many seasonal events that are held on Animal Crossing. They bring out the competitive side in villagers. I personally love them since they make the game much more fun. They motivate the player to catch more bugs than they would catch without such a motivation.
