How to catch a scorpion in Animal Crossing: New Horizons
First off, you gotta be brave! Scorpions appear between 7 PM and 4 AM from May to October (or November to April if you’re in the Southern Hemisphere). When you see one, slow your roll - don’t run or it’ll charge. Equip your net, creep up holding A to approach slowly, and when you’re in range, let go of A to catch it before it catches you!

I caught one by accident lol, was chasing a beetle and boom, scorpion got in my net. So if you're not having luck, maybe ignore 'em and they'll come to you.
Just run at it with your net swinging wildly. Works every time... if you’re aiming to get stung. Seriously though, slow and steady does the trick. Wait for it to lower its guard, then approach.
Honestly, catching scorpions is overrated. Just get good at making bells and buy whatever you need. Much less stressful.
