Cup for Catching Boring Cornered Bugs?

One artist create such a uniquely shaped cup, specially for catching cornered bugs. It seems that person rightly captures the spider into the cup, but how can we deal with that when we remove the cup? It is spider that moves slowly so we have enough time to cover paper or other things on the cup. But how can we do if it is a cockroach?

The cups, which features a 90 degree angle rim, was the idea of artist James Laurie. Called ‘Cornered’, only a handful of prototypes have been produced of the glass so far. Laurie explains how the special glass may come in handy to animal lovers, writing on his Web site:

Frustrated with spiders and other insects trapping themselves within a corner of a room making it difficult to catch. To counter this problem a glass was designed with a right-angled rim to correct this issue, cut and shaped accordingly from a tumbler glass. In order to retain the spider, whilst moving the glass away from the wall a folded sheet of paper is slipped between the glass and corner.

I hate but also afraid of those boring bugs. I will not make my hands get close to them, but rather use paster which they can stick to. I find the edge of the cup fits our lips well. Maybe it is a little inappropriate to take it as a conventional cup. But it doesn’t matter to have a try.
