[I have no clue why they moved to Animal Crossing land, but what better way to settle in then to go out and have fun! This is why Harry has two nets in his hand and is approaching Heather.]

Are you busy Heather? I thought maybe we could go out and catch bugs together like we used to do when you were little.

[It's a mystery to everyone why they'd go to a town filled with talking animals, but they've seen weirder so...]

Busy? Well- [Heather looked at the nets in her dad's hands. The fact he was talking about when she was a kid was sort of embarrassing, and she was in the middle of an errand, but how could she say no to her dad looking so happy about bonding time?]

...No, I'm not busy.

[He's a dad. He's allowed to embarrass you! Besides as much as work was important, it was good to spend time with family as well.]

I'm glad I caught you when you were free. Here- [Just gonna hand her one of the nets.] Maybe you can start a bug collection while we're here.

[Heather takes the net and turns it around in her hands. She hadn't used one of these in years, she definitely didn't think she would be again. Dad's were weird and nostalgia-prone like that though, so.]

I don't think we really have room in the house right now for a bug collection, Dad. Building one up at the museum would probably be a better idea if I were to even do it. [She wasn't going to admit that she sort of wanted a bug collection. Nope.]

We have room if you just want to keep one as a pet, but I wouldn't want you taking it out of the bug box.

[As much as he likes to try to make his daughter happy, he doesn't want any creepy crawlies loose in the house. At least not any live ones.]

I'm sure the museum would be happy to house your collection though.

[Yeah going bug catching today is definitely more for Heather's sake than his own.]

[But daaaad bugs need playtime just like a puppy would. Totally do.]

I don't even know where to look first, I haven't done this in forever... Where do you even find a praying mantis at in a normal town for than matter? [Yeah, Heather's going for something uncommon. Praying mantis are too cool to pass up when your dad tells you you can keep a bug for a pet.]

[Heather just looks at Harry expectantly, as if he knows where they'd be. Dads know everything after all.]

[Well ok only if you tie little strings around them so they don't get lost under furniture! Or better yet go take them for walks outside.]

Hmm...

[Heather you were the bug enthusiast here! Maybe if it was a common bug he'd have an idea, but really he's just guessing in the dark here.]

Well we could look around buildings or trees. I've never looked for one before, but when I have seen one they did seem to be around those things.

[Of course when he saw them they were out of their normal environment. So he is no help at all.]

[And off to buildings or trees they went! What was a better place than near the post office which also conveniently had trees surrounding it?

Net in hands, Heather was looking around the bases of the trees into the grass- quite vigorously for someone who tried before to not look all that into bug catching. What could she say, doing this again after so long was reviving that thrill of the hunt for her.]

So far I've only seen some ladybugs and a grasshopper or two. Hmph.

[Harry looked on the trees instead! Most were bare, but there were a few small beetles on some. They weren't even cool beetles. He even had went so far as to climb up one of the trees a little, but all that got him was a close call with a spider web.]

I saw a spider and some beetles, but no pray mantis yet. Maybe if we look somewhere else?

[Heather rested the net on her shoulder, other hand on her hip. Yep, this was going nowhere so far.]

I guess so. There's a lot of trees throughout town to check. [Too bad every Animal Crossing local knows that the praying mantis are only found on flowers. They weren't looking at those yet, though.]

[No one said finding bugs was fast or easy. Especially when they're looking for an uncommon bug. Besides, it's all for fun anyways. ]

I'm sure we'll find one eventually. Let's look by the train station.

[And on the way there he's going to be keeping an eye out for this bug! Who knows maybe there are some flowers along the way. ]

[Heather will also look for them as they walk. There don't seem to be many flowers around here, but the other A acres probably had some. You know how Nook is with wanting you to plant them by his store! What a butt, not sharing flowers with the other acres! Because of him they were scarce through the rest of the town.]

I figured they would be an easier find in the Spring, guess I was wrong. Do you really think they'd be near the train station?

Not a clue, but it's worth a look even in passing. There is still a lot of ground to cover after all.

[Man who even listens to Nook and plants them outside his store! Heather I thought you were a REBEL. At least if they kept walking Nook's store would be past the train station? Man which game's map are we going by here.]

That's true.

[Hey now Heather didn't plant them by his store! She did by their house, did you see those nice flowers randomly show up next to the house one day and wonder where they came from? Just saying, most everyone plants them near Nook's because he is a flower hog.]

It'd help if the damned things didn't blend in with the grass. [I have no idea what map this is, just make it up as we go like I am haha.]

[Why yes he did notice, he thought they were really nice! And oh ok that's true, not everyone can be as much of a rebel as Heather is.]

Isn't that what makes it fun? We could always go after something easier if you want to give up. I bet those beetles back there would make cute pets.

[Ok now he's just teasing cause he still doesn't mind finding this praying mantis. The more time he gets to spend with his daughter is always nice.]

No, this is fine! I don't need to go after something easier, I'm not a kid! [Wow rude she can find this bug okay!!!]

[Heather starts searching more seriously than before now. Look what you did Harry, you pushed her. This has practically turned into a challenge to prove she can do it now.]

[He can't help but chuckle at her renewed vigor for finding this bug. It's really cute ok! He knew that'd get you serious about it.]

I don't think you'd want to go after something easier even if you were a kid.

[That gets Harry seriously searching as well though and not only in trees. Hopefully they are working their way towards Nook's shop. No they totally are. The closer they get the more and more flowers there are to look at.]

[He was right about that, Heather didn't really go for the easy route no matter how old she was, and probably never will.

But yeah, there were a lot of flowers at this point. She wasn't sure if this was a place they'd be though, Heather wasn't exactly a praying mantis expert after all.]

Do you think they'd be on flowers at all?

[She knew Harry wasn't one either, but it didn't hurt to ask.]

I'm not sure, but we can always find out by looking. There looks like there are a lot bugs around here.

[He didn't know if any of them were praying mantids, but the flowers were showing more promise than the trees. If anything there were a lot of butterflies around. Maybe Heather would want to start another butterfly collection... but for now he's kneeling down to look at the flowers better. ]

Maybe we should have asked that owl at the museum before we started looking. I'm sure he would have known.

[ITS TOO LATE FOR THAT NOW BUT...]

[There was a variety of flowers planted about, all of different colors, too. If there was a mantis around he would stick out easier than in the grass. Hopefully.

Butterflies were everywhere, boring. Also more ladybugs, typical flower bugs. Heather was about to give up looking in them at this rate, but--]

Wait, I found one! It's mine! [Yep, there was a little praying mantis hanging out on a patch of white cosmos. Heather's determination filled up as she slowly crept up on it. The net was clutched in her hands, ready to strike, and she got her opportunity and swung--

--and narrowly missed the bug. It flew off to safety.] Okay...maybe not.

[Oh??? Who would have ever thought they were on flowers! When Heather misses the bug however Harry is already chasing after it. He wasn't just going to let it get away after it was so hard to find!]

Don't just let it get away!

[He looks really silly chasing after a bug, but the silliest part is how he thinks swinging his net like that after it was going to catch it. The bug has to land sometime though and when it does that is when Harry strikes.

Sadly after chasing it with his net the bug is already flying away again before he can even finish swinging it.]

[Don't think she's letting you catch it for her, dad! Heather is right on it's tail also, but when Harry fails to catch it she keeps chase.

Another swing of the net. Miss. She'd wait for the damned thing to land and strike again. It took a few seconds, but they felt like minutes to wait for. Finally the mantis landed again.

Heather was not missing this chance again. She went for the strike again, and this time the praying mantis launched itself off the flowers to fly but it was too slow, and was greeted by netting.]

Yes, got it! [She probably should have felt silly for being so proud about catching a bug, but she didn't. This mantis was worth it.]

[Harry was right behind her when she made the catch. He couldn't of been happier for her as he gave her a cheer for the job well done. It was an intense bug chase ok!]

Good job! What are you going to name it? [Just peering at it closer now that it's in the net.]

[Oh, a name? She hadn't thought about that yet.]

I'm not sure..I'll have to have more time to think about that. I only just caught it, you know. [Also I guess because this is the Animal Crossing world, the mantis is magically in a container suddenly?

Either way- aww yeah, Heather got that praying mantis she wanted. Maybe hanging out with her dad doing childish things wasn't so bad every now and then.]
