If it was a 'nice' insect like a bee, a butterfly or a ladybird I'd fish it out and finish the drink. If it was a dirty big fat fly or a wasp I'd ditch the drink but if it was a horrible scary spider I'd have probably flung the glass away as far as I could and upturned the table in my panic to get away. |

Use the silicon cuppa heat savers, I do this when wasp season is rife in the forest on my pint of cider |

"Remove the little fucker, administer CPR then finish my drink as it recovers next to me.
O have lost count of the insects I've squashed or killed just trying to save then  "
I tip my cap to you for trying. X |

We recently laid a concrete path. While it was still set a new landed on it. I carefully lifted it out but it had concrete on its legs which picked up a load of dust . I had to kill it because it couldn't fly or walk. |

Ooh that's a bit sensible. Looks less weird than a roll of cling as well... |

"Depends on what sort of insect....a fruit fly or midge, definitely fish it out.....a dung beetle or bluebottle, chuck the whole thing and start again  "

"your outside enjoying your favourite drink, it's going down a treat and an insect lands in it!
Do you rescue said insect and finish the drink?
Or throw it away?
Or swallow the insect and drink  "
Fish it out and continue just like I would if I went to a relatives for dinner and found a hair in my food. |

Oh gosh. A wasp landed in a friends drink the other weekend. He put his finger in allowing the wasp to clamber on and rescued it! Who rescues wasps?! He claimed it was for the benefit of his pint. |
