Catch mosquitoes and flies

If you, like me, do not feel like having to use different tricks of this forum after flattening your little fellow inhabitants to get the wall blood-free again, maybe my current method of trapping will help.

By chance, I once took a milky plastic cup to capture a mosquito. When you move the cup open towards the mosquito, it does not seem to notice the cup and either does not fly away or it flies into the cup. This works in 98% of all cases the same on the first try. So now the mug with the annoying roommate should be pressed against the wall. Then I take a sheet of paper, put the cup on the sheet and carry the mosquito to the balcony or somehow outside.

The same goes great with flies, which are very fast, but if they fly into the cup, I still have them. Whether that also works with other cups, I can not say, with me must always serve the milky.
