Wasp Selling Prices in Animal Crossing: New Horizons
When you catch a wasp, you have a couple of options for cashing in your efforts. Knowing these options can help you maximize your Bell earnings.
Selling to Nook's Cranny
The standard place to sell most items in your inventory is Nook's Cranny. For each wasp you sell here, you will receive 2,500 Bells. This is the most readily available option, as Nook's Cranny is open daily.
Selling to Flick
For those looking to get the most Bells for their insects, the best option is to sell to Flick. Flick is a special character who occasionally visits your island and has a particular interest in bugs. When Flick is on your island, he will buy wasps (and all other insects) for 1.5 times their standard price. This means he will purchase each wasp for 3,750 Bells. It's always a good strategy to save your wasps and other valuable insects for Flick's visits if you're aiming to earn more Bells.
Here's a quick overview of the selling prices:
| Seller | Selling Price (Bells) |
|---|---|
| Nook's Cranny | 2,500 |
| Flick | 3,750 |
