Re rain and bug appearances: Decided to do a list of what has
appeared when it rains in my games. Note, I have the color mod
change, so collectiables are usually easy to spot. And I am on the 8th or 9th generation for each family. Coins are done for all and I need anywhere from 6 to 1 in the other categories.

Purchased rain storms: 20 storms and NO UNCOMMON OR RARE BUGS
appeared. The most common of the 'commons' are the coins.
Which we all finish fairly rapidly. So,common bugs appeared 14 times; other commons [never photos]20 times. Did get 3 rare and
4 uncommons.....a very sparse return!!!

Random rain storms: 38 storms, 2 new uncommon bugs and 1 rare bug [for my peeps, that is]out of 27 uncommon/rare finds. 30 of
the storms had common bugs appear and all 38 storms had common
others.

Weather rain man: 6 storms, with 2 having no collectiables, 1 rare [have], 1 uncommon [new], along with 3 common
bug & 3 other commons.

Not rain related: Neighbor spys rare collectiable:
Happened 7 times.....3 with nothing and 4 with a rare, of which
I already had.

LDW group.....there has to be a better return to keep one's interest going for the collectiables, don't you think?
