During these four months, this insect will spawn from 8 am to 7 pm daily. Any time slot that you log in other that this won’t get you the migratory locust.

So if you are looking to catch one, roam around your island in spots which are close to the water and do it in between 8 am and 7 pm. The chances of you encountering a migratory locust are highest in these areas. When you spot a migratory locust, you will have to be careful while catching it though, as it can jump and get away from you quite quickly. If you spot a migratory locust and it has not spotted you, then pull out your net and slowly move towards it. Spring the net to catch once the distance between you and the insect is catchable.
