Do something like that every day.
I usually just use my finger for that. Drowning, they'll grab on anything. And even if it's a wasp or bee or spider, they'll never sting you in that kind of situation.
As for those that keep banging their heads onto my windows trying to get out, I use a glass and a sheet of paper to let them out. This is something I have to do all the time now in the summer, there's every kinds of them here, moskitoes, flies, moths, grasshoppers, ants, spiders, everything. Why do they keep crashgating into my house I have no idea. There's such a beautiful world for them outside.

Bloody moths!
There could be some good money in that for you, Timothy!

back to moths/crane-flies/assorted night-time flutterlets:
when i was living in the back of my truck i came to despise them.being semi-nocturnal and often living miles from the shops,at least once a week you could guarantee that while it was still dark a) i would find myself on my last candle;b) the very cheap,brand new lighter that i expected to last forever would pop its flint; c) an enormous moth would fly into said candle and extinguish it,before crash-landing into the bowl of cornflakes i was about to eat.

Well I was handsome and I was strong
And I knew the words to every song.
"Did my singing please you?"
"No! The words you sang were wrong!"

Good Advice-Foil fiddling taxi drivers by taking polaroid photos of street signs as you pass them.At the end of your journey you can confront him with evidence if he has taken an unnecessarily long route .
