Woo HOO! I got my first snail ever this evening! In real life I don't want snails in my yard (they love to chow down on my dahlia's).

Yes, it's odd that they're uncommon in the VF garden. They are all too common in my garden!

I GOT THE DRAGONFLY!! Now I only need one more to have all the collections finished. That great big black beetle. It's been a little over 3 months I think since I started this first game. I'm so excited! 3 more months til I get the next one!

Its always that last bug that never appears!!! I have 3 families only waiting for one bug!!

Two families only need the purple bug, and in the last 2 days they have found every other rare bug at least twice between them except that one!!

Another family only needs the dragonfly... and what did I find today in that family...??? THE PURPLE BUG!!!!

I seriously think my families need to visit each other and do some swapping!!!!

I wish we could do that Lostie! Sorry you haven't had the right rares appearing in the right families! The same thing has been happening to me

I think my eyes are going. Just now, during a rainstorm, I thought I'd spotted two rare bugs. The first I could have sworn was the dragonfly, but it was in fact the translucent common coin. Then I spotted something odd-looking down by the gate. I dropped a peep on it and silently cheered when she bent down to pick it up. Then I saw it was just a weed.

All I found during that storm was one of the common red butterflies, which I seem to see every time it rains. Surely butterflies don't come out in the rain, anyway, do they?

Aw.. sorry arnie! That must've felt terrible seeing it was a weed. Sometimes I get excited just from seeing the pet lying down on the grass thinking it's a bug >_<

I don't think butterflies or moths come out in the rain in real life, go figure! I'm more likely to find one fluttering around in my house during a rainstorm.

I DID IT!!!!!!!!
One of my families who needed the purple bug.... FOUND THE PURPLE BUG!!!! in exactly the same place as the one i found yesterday in the other family who didnt need it!!
Couldnt believe my eyes when I saw it!! I normally let the peeps pick the collectables up and just move them to let them drop it to save them walking all the way inside. But with this one i savoured the moment (and was a bit scared in case it didnt register!!!) and let the guy walk all the way inside!

So now I finally have one family with 100 trophies!!!!

Funny thing is, thats actually the family I started last!

Edit: The first thing I did straight after was buy a bottle of tropical sunshine for my peeps! Think they've had enough rain to last them a lifetime!

Lol! Congrats Lostie!! I savor the moment too and let them do that victory walk to the collectibles cabinet.

Congrats on the 100 trophies! I don't recall seeing anyone else posting about their 100 trophy victory, but I haven't been here for too long either.

Lol!! The tropical sunshine makes sense to me at least That rain has both terrible and great memories.

FABULOUS! A HUNDRED CONGRATULATIONS AT THE VERY LEAST, LOSTIE.
What generation were you on with this momenteous happening?
No I will be envious, no matter what the answer.
Do believe you have a magical computer. Perhaps your computer could send some hints to mine?
