If your island is in the Northern Hemisphere, you can grab this bug from July to August. If it is in the south then, you can get it from January to February. The specific spawn timings are from 11 pm to 8 am but there are no weather conditions that you need to look for. But since the major part of its active hours are during the night, it might get slightly difficult to spot it due to its dark color.
You must look for it on trees because they only spawn there, much like the Golden Stag and Rainbow Stag. Note that this bug can be found on any tree and not just Coconut trees. Unfortunately, this will widen your search for the Giant Stag but it isn’t extremely difficult.
It’s quite a rare bug so selling it will get you 10,000 Bells. Apart from selling, you can also donate it to Blathers Museum.
