The Museum[]
The Violin Beetle can be donated to the museum. Upon doing so, the following text is given by Blathers:
"As the name indicates, these bugs resemble violins. They're very thin and roughly five mm thick. They stay on top of fungi on trees and prey upon small bugs that happen by. When predators come near, violin beetles emit a noxious fluid to protect themselves. The fluid is toxic and can be painful if it touches your hands or eyes, so be careful!"
Quote[]
Upon catching the insect, the player will say the following:
"I caught a violin beetle! But how do I tune it?"
