Its first appearance is in Animal Crossing: City Folk. It is rare, and it can be found only on palm trees from mid to late summer. It can be caught if the player approaches it as slowly as possible.

Donating to the museum[edit]
Upon the beetle's donation to the museum, Blathers the curator will say the following:
In City Folk[edit]
After donation, the golden stag can be found on the second tier of the insect section in the first enclosure, walking on the tree stump towards the back. Once the hercules beetle has been donated, both will fight on the stump - lifting one another up in the air then tipping each other over.
In New Leaf[edit]
Upon donation to the museum, the golden stag can be found on the stump in the upper right room of the insect section. If the horned hercules is also in the museum, the two will be fighting on the stump.
