@xxcrazycostaxx: That's really crappy, man. Sorry to hear it. I've been taking my 3DS XL to work every day, but I don't trust my coworkers enough to leave it where they can get to it. I keep it in sleep mode in my pocket, however considering the size of the thing, I doubt that's even possible for a lot of people. Anyway, it's really unfortunate. I'd be devastated and maybe even bloodthirsty.
I would have left one in the middle. Make sure the flowers are gone so you don't get butterflies, and dig up the bushes too. Cut down the palm trees at the bottom of your island too, that way you can make "Figure 8" movements through your island. Go down the middle, up the the sides. That way you can see the bugs before you even get close and won't have to worry about scaring them off.
Avoid goliath beetles (the big red ones) as they're worth 6,000 as opposed to all the others being 8,000 or higher. In the middle, only go for Giant Stags and Stags. Scarab beetles are harder to distinguish, and aren't worth as much so just skip them. Scare away all undesirable bugs by walking towards them (scare away wharf beetles with your net). Always stop and catch sharks. You should easily make 400,000+ bells per trip. I gotta warn you, though, it can become quite a grind once you start doing it every night. Lately I've only been able to do 1 island run before I start falling asleep playing.
Another tip, pick all of the white shells on your island, and sell them to the little girl. This will make it easier to identify the hermit crabs that spawn and need to be scared away (just get them moving and then ignore them, as they'll disappear within a few seconds anyway). Keep in mind that only 5 bugs will be on your island at any time, so make sure to always scare away the worthless ones.
I've done it every night. Removing bushes and taking down the lower trees speeds up the process. Ever since, I've made about 1 million a night. I'm now up to 12 million in the bank, but it's becoming a major grind. I'm determined to get 100 million though for the top reward.
Once I had a customer at work tell me I look like a character from Degrassi. I tried to figure out which one, but apparently the show has 8 million characters.
