Bug stuck in my Headlight!

Somehow a large moth got stuck in my Headlights.
I'm wondering if anyone has any suggestions as to how I can remove it!
thanks!

try sticking a shop vac around the headlight bulb opening. might create enough of a vacuum to suck it right out. i did this with a light bulb that almost fell in and was able to get it back to the opening. gl

Personally, I'd just put some food for the moth in there and call it a mod. Headlight mods are getting popular...

If you're not into that idea, try the shopvac idea. Worst case scenario, wait for it to die and then remove the headlight from the car. With enough shaking I'm sure you could get the little bugger out.
