Afortunadamente con la mantis me va bien, lo peor es conseguir algo en la mina, ?es muy poco probable!.

I found him twice now! But it only gave me coins. This is again one of these events where one item does not drop enough to finish the event.

Exactly...why have coins in the first place? I can't advance. Frustrating!

I cannot remember, how many coins are offered for the Mantis, when you click on it, as I've only had luck getting and tapping it once -

But given its appearance seems so rare, seems like an inconvenience to get coins from it.

Does the mantis appear like this to everyone else


I found another one earlier, on a different farm, but wasn't able to click it in time.

I'm currently stuck on goal #5 waiting for the Mantis to give me an orchid so I can advance to the next goal which is the mine, so another issue...

The Mantis has given me 15 coins, not sure if it's the same for everyone.

I am bringing this post here from ankavale1000
She explains how myself, her and others do it.

Listen to post 32 Judys advice.

The raccoon is very small so it can hide behind a deco, a tree, a building etc.
The easiest way to spot him is

1. Fill up every open square on your farm with deco or path, anything u have in ur cellar, if u don?t want to use coins
......this can be time consuming if your farm is pretty open

2. Once you fill up every open square, select an area of approx. 8x8 and leave that area open (remove paths or deco etc)
......this is the area that Butterflies, moles, raccoon will pop up - Pop Up Stage

3. Once you designated the Pop Up Stage, force close game then reopen.
......Once u reopen, hover over ur Pop Up Stage, wait for butterflies/moles to show (anywhere from 15 to 30sec). The Raccoon will appear shortly after (between 10 sec to a bit over a minute, varies with farm). Please note, if butterflies etc don?t show after 2 minutes in your Pop Up Stage, chances are you still have open squares else where.

4. Once you clicked on Raccoon, coins or bottle, force close game and reopen ... repeat Step 3.

Judy invented this method. It works. Try it.
The drop rate of bottle is really low, raccoon only appears for about 20 seconds or so, if you want bottles, this method (free, no gem purchase) is your best bet.

Once you have your farm set up this way, you will be ready for all future events w.visitors.

An idea how small raccoon is, how it can hide literally behind everything

He is not that small, you will see him if he appears on your farm . I just found him again, and again I got 20 coins. Not funny........

Translation of above:
Fortunately with the mantis I am doing well, the worst is getting something in the mine, it is very unlikely!
Many tools are spent so they don't give you anything.

Yes the mine gives everyone problems.

Doesn't matter the size. If you make say a 12 square area empty for the butterflies, mole and event item...Mantis then one is not searching the entire farm.
My area is by my Market so I can go through the paper for items as I watch.
Then I force cl9se and watch again.
But say you have something like the canner with one open square behind it up tight you won't see the item. That is why us old players have every square covered.
