In City Folk[edit]

"It's said that a diet of sap from the lychee tree makes the bodily fluids of the lantern fly sweet.

In New Leaf[edit]

The Lantern Fly resting on a tree in the museum in Animal Crossing: New Leaf

Upon being donated, the lantern fly can be found in the room of the bug exhibit with the light in, resting on a tree near the light. The exhibit has this to say about the lantern fly:

"Lantern flies stay on trees to drink tree sap, which is where you'll most commonly find them. Their heads are shaped like alligators, though this is just an odd coincidence. Their wings have patterns that look like eyes so when they're open they can scare off predators. They don't really cry that much, but they are still related to cicadas to some extent."
