The Museum[]

The Pondskater can be donated to the museum. Upon doing so, the following text is given by Blathers:

"Pondskaters distinguish themselves by having the ability to run on the surface of the water. They have a mouth part that lets them suck up bugs that fall on the water's surface. Their wings allow them to freely move to different parts of the water's surface if the need arises. Some say they smell like candy, which is a rather curious association to make in the insect world."

Quote[]

Upon catching the insect, the player will say the following:

"I caught a pondskater! Why aren't they called pondskiers?"
